No it is not possible to delete that account. (As far as I know) but there are times when the account has been disabled thru a Policy (that is how I disable it) and that program has not worked, I know it doesn't make a lot of sense because why is the policy being enforced if it will not connect to the domain but guess what sometimes it is like that, and if everything always worked the way it was supposed to well then we wouldn't be needed now would we?

You might be able to disable it, but IIRC, you can reset the password and unlock/re-enable to account using the infamous bootdisk at: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ Shouldn't need to re-image. -- AdamT "Maidenhead is *not* in Kent" List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
