Admin account

by curious_george . Updated 26 years ago

How can determine which name in the local admins list is the built-in local admin account on a workstation if all other admin
accounts are copies of the original account and have identical
descriptions? Deleting all others until error message about not
deleting built-in accounts is not acceptable. It can be from the
command line or GUI.

Additionally, I may need to rename this account from the
command line, as I have found a collage of diverse local admin
accounts across the workstations on a domain. I want to script a
NAME CHANGE routine for only the built in local admin account
on these NT 4.0 workstations, so all local admin accounts can
be uniform.

Addusers.exe only deletes or adds accounts, does NOT
rename, so please don’t suggest it.

Let’s see who’s really good!
