Also check your event logs on that machine and make sure you are not
having any issues with security policy applying. Sometime the secedit
database can get corrupt and has to be restored before security policy
will apply correctly.

One thing to note is that policy is a per-computer policy, which
means it requires either a background refresh of GP or, more likely, you
need to reboot the target computer to pick up the new name.
Also, I'm curious why you first created the GPO linked to the
DCs OU. Are you really intending to rename the domain Administrator
account as well?

I logged on the DC with the admin account to configure evrthing
in AD and GPMC. then i logged on the server (seperate pc in the OU) to
test if i can log in with the admin account and i could.

Are you logging on with a local or domain admin account?

Hi all
Been trying to rename the admin account to something
else through a GPO. I do the following:
Right-click on Domain controllers OU in AD > Properties
> GP tab > Open > Exp GPO > Create new GPO and call it Rename Admin
Account > Right-click GPO > edit > comp config > win settings > secu
settings > local policies > sec options > doublle click rename
administrator account > define this policy seeting > type the name that
i want and click OK all the way out.
Create a new OU and move one pc (has 2003 on it) to the
OU because i only want to test this on one pc in the domain.Right-click
on the OU in AD > Properties > GP tab > Open > Right-click OU > Link an
existing GP > Rename admin account > Ok...Close all the way out
If i log out and try to log in with the username
administrator and the password it still allows me to. What am i doing
wrong?
