Hi,
I habve a big problem. We have a new Controller at our Club. I need to
accomplish the following:
Create domain account and Home dir for her-She is using the old controllers
PC-Can I just rename the domain account of the old controller to the new
controllers name (on the server
And on the XP Pro workstation do the same? Will this work? She does need to
have the exact same access/privledges on the XP machine locally and the
Domain Controller when logging on from the workstation. Is this an
acceptable course of action?
I also need to give the new person local access to the DC, maybe as a power
user, something where she can move around , but not mess with master Admin
password, etc

Also, the best way to rename the admin account (where, etc)

Thanks so much,
GRCC
 
First, you can't really "rename" the Domain Admin account, but you can
remove Administrator from the various Admin groups and make that account a
User account.

Second, if you have a new controller she should have a new account and home
directory unless there's a reason to simply assign a new password to the old
controller's account. Even so I would still give her a new account/home
directory and then copy files from the old controller's account to hers.
