1boredguy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hello,I set up a new domain admin and want to carefully remove the built-in admin.I tried to disable it, so I can see if anything goes wrong, but I can't disable it because of what a pop-up error says, "can't disable built-in accounts." Any recommendations on the best way/steps to clean out domain administrator accounts?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 i wouldn't go so far as to remove the account (actually i am not sure you even can) if you want it to be secure rename the admin account to something else and disable the account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oioldman Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 though if your going to rename and disable it, i would recommend you create a duplicate with different name so you can stuff do admin tasks, unless you have another admin account created Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 LOL,hopefully there is another domain admin account already setup (i hope...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
