Enable Windows 7 administrator account with group policy
I want to enable Windows 7 local administrator account by using Group Policies. Any way to get this to work?
I ran net user administrator /active:yes as a login script however that needs to runas administrator. When I use the RunAs command, it will only work if I prompt for the domain admiinistrator password

Just what I was looking for. At first it did not work becuase the password was not set. I set that by following the document

You might use PSEXEC (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553) and use this commandline: psexec \\* - u DOMAIN\ADMINISTRATOR -p PASSWORD NET USER ADMINISTRATOR /active:yes.
This is use to use and might help you out.
