Re: SBS 2003 - setup indicating "built-in administrator" on a DC?

Hmmm... Yes, there still should be a built-in domain Administrator account
on the SBS server even with a DC. Unless it's been changed, the account
username is Administrator. Alos, the password may be <blank> unless you've
established one prior to this during the install process.

Hi, I'm installing SBS 2003 in an existing AD structure, and am
following MS document 884453 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/
884453) .

I promoted the server late last week, installed DNS, made it a global
catalog, transferred over the FSMO rolls, etc. I am at the point
where I want to install Exchange, however, when I run the "Continue
Setup", the system check comes back with "You must be loggged in using
the built-in administrator account." But, as it's a DC now, there
*isn't* a built-in administrator account anymore. The username I'm
logged in with is a member of Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, and
Schema Admins.

I've done some searching, but I haven't seen a resolution for this, so
suggestions are welcome.
