Renaming Administrator
This may sound extremely silly but I cannot find where to rename the Administrator.
I did this:
Start -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> System Tools
I was expecting to find Local Users and Groups....but it is NOT there. I only see the usual Event Viewer, Shared Folers, Performance Logs and Alerts, and Device Manager.
Thanks in advance,
jd

If that were the case, there should be an "X" through that Local Users and Groups.
click "Start"
type "compmgmt.msc"
select "Local Users and Groups"
select "Users"
In right window pane, select "Administrator"
right click on "Administrator"
choose "rename"
Hope this helps!

Not on an SBS DC.
It's just not there.

True - it would help if they posted what version of Windows they were using...
Although folloing my instructions would have led to the solution as a message appears stating that user accounts are managed in Active Direcotry.

Hey Lee,

Yes, Server or SMALL BUSINESS SERVER?
Also, would be nice if he mentioned if it were a DC or not.

Ahh, gotcha. I neglected the versions - however, I can't say the answer for this particular issue would be different.
I think the fact the Local Users and Groups is missing should be an indication that this is a DC.

Also, while I was able to navigate to the direction that Netman66 gave, I was unable to actually change it there. I only hope I divied the points up properly.
