Well, that is quite logical and expected, isn't it? If you have domain administrator (or other) privileges on the remote machine, it's obvious that you will be able to check additional things. Almost every scanner will behave like that. Also, be cautios as this might give you false positives, meaning that you might detect things that are not exploitable without prior gaining administrator privileges, after which everything falls down anyway.
