You noted that you linked it in... make sure you also "Enabled" the GPO.

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?
