XP/2003/2008/Vista/Win7: Rename the Administrator
Posted by Lars Krogh in Unattended Windows 2003, Unattended Windows 2008, Unattended Windows 7, Unattended Windows XP on 11/08/2009
I rename the Administrator account as part of my OS configuration steps (I use one username for my desktop installs and another username for my server installs).

These are the steps:
renuser Administrator “the-new-adminname” (download renuser from www.ntfaq.com)
reg ADD “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon” /V DefaultUserName /T REG_SZ /F /D “the-new-adminname”
reg ADD “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon” /V AltDefaultUserName /T REG_SZ /F /D “the-new-adminname”
net user /add Administrator “a-strong-password”
net user Administrator /active:no
