- Built-In Administrator Account
- Posted by Simon S on December 9th, 2005
Apologies for new thread here - I don't think I made my problem clear
previously.
Built-In Administrator Account does NOT show on Welcome screen and I'm cool
with that. However, it does show up under "User Accounts" (in Control Panel)
alongside my own named account which also has admin rights. Article 314412
explains that the Built-In A/C should not show up here. In other words it
should be truly hidden and only visible in safe mode. The hotfix described
in 314412 does not work in SP2.
My question is how do I prevent the Built-In Account from showing up in
"User Accounts" please?

Thanks

Personally, I'm not sure how this presents a problem. The "Built in Admin"
will probably show in any admin account BUT definitely don't believe it will
be there in any Limited Accounts.
So if you're other Users are limited, it doesn't really present a problem ,
does it?

In my experience if you log on as an administrator you can always see the
built in Administrator Account.

that is remarkable. or should I say obvious. it has to show then or there is
a 'real' problem.

The built in administrator account will not show up until after one has
logged
into the administrator account. It will show from there on in. This
account is
setup to be used with the repair function when booting from the CD.
