I have one of our Network gurus' telling me that after they have renamed the
Administrator's name on some of our network systems, that the systems are
reverting back to the original name...Administrator

I have never seen or heard of this. Any Truth to this orideas?

Thanks

There is a Group Policy security option to rename administrators account. If
it is defined and configured with "administrator" that could explain why the
names are changing back. You could see this option for instance in Local
Security policy via secpol.msc and go to local policies/security options -
rename administrator account. For a Windows 2000 computer look at the
effective setting in Local Security Policy which could be different from the
local setting. The support tool gpresult will tell what Group Policies are
being applied to a "computer" and Windows XP computers can also use the mmc
snapin for Resultant Set of Policy to see what settings are being applied
and from what Group Policies. Windows 2003 domain controllers can also can
do RSOP. --- Steve
