 * Making the Administrator's account a non-Administrator account.
 * Disabling the Administrator's account by clicking to select the "disable account" check box.
 * Setting the Administrator's account to expire.
 * Removing the Domain Admins global group from the Administrators local group.
 * Removing Administrator from the Domain Admins global group.



RESOLUTION
To resolve these problems, reverse any such modifications to built-in accounts and built-in groups.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
