This (local) policy setting renames the local computer account called
"administrator" (open lusrmgr.msc to see this account)
If you want to rename the built-in AD domain user account, also called
"administrator", you can open dsa.msc and browse to the default user container
- right-click the object - rename (no policy needed for this, as there's only
one such account per domain)

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?
