You can also use my RenameAdmin.exe ( http://mywebpages.comcast.net/habullock/Perlutilities.htm ) or Win32ADmin.DLL ( http://mywebpages.comcast.net/habullock/kix_solutions.htm ) to code this task.

You can wrap RenameAdmin.exe in a CMD file using "FOR /F" to process a list of computers.

You can use Win32Admin.DLL to lookup the builtin Administrator account if you support OS's of different languages where the administrator account name has been localized.

Not sure why Breaker said that you could not change the password for the Administrator account on the domain. It is just another account as long as the target computer is the PDC.
