Gene, You can rename the local admin account on
systems participating in an Active Directory environment (this does not apply
to systems using the Active Directory Client Extensions) through a group policy
object. The setting is located at; Computer Configuration\Windows
Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies/Security Options\Account ->
Accounts: Rename administrator account This does not however change the
underlying well known SID of the account, so it can still be detected depending
on how your security environment is setup, and what can be executed against the
local security databases on your local machines. This would also allow this to
be effective for new machines without manual intervention. I still have not found a solution I’m
comfortable enough with to recommend to change the password on a bulk basis. I’m
sure others have feedback which will answer this half of the question. Thanks.
