GLopez,

You can always use MS Resource Kit tools or third party tools to
create/rename/modify group privileges/etc. during FBA. E.g. cusrmgr.exe
(console User Manager tool), net.exe (e.g. "net group /add") and so on.

TD has many restrictions in setting up user accounts.
Also, you can use a manual reseal procedure on your target device. This way
you will be able to pre-set user accounts and their settings at runtime and
have it freezed in golden image.

"Admin",  It looks I can not change the Administrator account name in the
Admin Component. What I'm triying to avoid is having an Administrator
Account using the "Administrator" as name.
