I renamed the administrator account on my win2k server.
Everything is working fine with the new logon name. The
only thing that isn't working is that I can't make
a "dummy" administrator account because that name is
still somehow linked to my renamed administrator
account. When I look in AD users and computers,
administrator still shows up in the list even though it
is really the new name. How can I get the new name to
show up in the user list and also how can I create a new
user called administrator that has no privileges? Thanks
in advance for any responses.
 
Check that both of the actual logon names have been changed in account properties.
The upn logon name and the "pre-windows 2000" logon name. --- Steve
 
Select the Administrator account press F2 and then rename
it, it will pop up with another window make sure
everything is correct and then click ok.

After that you are free to create a new Administrator
account with no privilages.
