Hi:
Has anyone encountered any drawbacks to changing the built-in “administrator” username account to a different name? Yes, we do have additional accounts setup with administrative privileges applied and I realize we can simply add an additional username, assign it admin privileges and call it good but, we are working with a particular client that has a need for increased security and changing the administrator’s username to another name is being considered. Firewall appliances made by Cisco and SonicWall have this capability to change its primary admin account to another name. Is it safe to do the same with the built-in administrator account or are their known quirks with Microsoft’s Active Directory when doing so? Thank you advance.
