Hi,
Is there a way i can set my SBS 2003 server to allow login as local
administrator. I need to run SBS SP1 and apparently should be logged in as
local admin. I have tried as domain admin and running in to all sorts of
troubles which lead to failed service pack installation.
A domain controller doesn't have a local admin as such, it has a
built-in administrator. As far as I know, that account cannot be
deleted, so it's still there somewhere. It is possible to rename
it. If you've lost the password, there may be some difficulty...
