After enabling the Built-in Administrator account, it is not shown on Welcome screen

Hello,
I have Windows 7 Starter SP1.
I have previously successfully enabled and then logged on, to the built-in administrator account, and then when I had finished using it, disabled it again.
Unfortunately today, I found that when I enabled the built-in administrator account, it no longer appears on the Welcome screen.
I went through the process of enabling it by doing:
Start/Search "CMD"/right-click CMD/Run as administrator.
net user administrator active:yes
It confirms: "The command completed successfully."
However, when I log off and log back on (or do shut down and restart), the Welcome screen does not display any option for the Built-in Administrator account.
I have also tried doing the above in Safe mode, and also using Command Prompt from a Rescue disk.
As background information:
The reason why I wanted to access this account today, was because I attempted to defrag a partition listed as "(1% fragmented)" and after Defrag appeared to complete while at "Pass 2", the partition is still shown as 1% fragmented.
I would appreciate advice how to resolve the issue with the built-in administrator account.
Regards,
Robert339

Hello Niki Han,
Thank you for your response. I have not yet had an opportunity to look into what you have written but wish to thank you for that information.
Meanwhile, I would like to discuss the possible cause for this issue. I know the date when I last successfully accessed the built-in Administrator account, which was April 18, 2012.
Since I was last able to use that account on April 18, 2012, I have made no changes to the system other than install all Important Microsoft Updates through Windows Update.
A full scan with Windows Defender finds no threats.
A full scan with Avast finds no threats.
I beleive Microsoft may wish to ensure that this issue has not been caused by any of the following 30 updates. If it has been caused by one of these updates, then Microsoft should consider issuing a further update to correct this.

Enabling Windows Server 2008 R2 Built-In Administrator Account

The properties box for my Windows Server 2008 R2 built-in administrator program says the account is disabled. Even the primary user account has virtually no priveliges. How can I, with a mere primary user account available at logon, enable
the built-in administrator account, or otherwise grant my primary user account administrator priveliges? Windows Server 2008 R2 denies my primary user account access/permission for nearly all changes to accounts, programs and OS features.

In some of the organisations, default admin accounts on member servers are purposefully locked/disabled through group policy for security reasons.
If you know the password for locked out/disabled admin account then there is a possibility of unlocking/re-enabling the account without using any third party tools.
To do that,
Restart the server
Press F8 and select Safe Mode Without
Networking
Log on to the server with locked out/disabled admin account with its password.
If you could successfully log on to the server then you will have option to unlock and enable the built-in admin account !
Most of the downtime's are caused because of SysAdmin's curiosity ! - Santosh

Unable to enroll fingerprints for the Win7 built-in Administrator account

In Windows 7 I tried to enroll fingerprints for the built-in Administrator account, but doing so failed every time with the error message The enrollment could not be completed.
I could not find a solution online and the Validity software was working just fine, as there were no issues with other users on the same system. As a work-around, I created another account with administrator privileges and enrolling the fingerprints worked just fine. My guess is that the permissions for the built-in Administrator account are different from any administrator account you can create yourself. What I noticed is that any self created account is part of the Users group, and that the built-in Administrator account is not part of this group. I'm not sure, but maybe this is the cause of the problem.
Anyway, I thought I would share my experience here, in case anyone else encounters the same problem.

same issue in build 10049.
It would help to be more specific in the symptom description. E.g. using Narrator may help. (Win-Enter). Does it say what you are "seeing" (or should be seeing)?
FWIW I think it is relatively easy to reproduce symptoms which are related to this thread's description using Narrator (Start Screen without Search bar, Search bar without Taskbar, or Search bar with Taskbar but without Start Menu
when the only time that the Search bar should appear is when the Start Menu is there, for example) so that could also help specify what your real symptom is. BTW there are horrendous delays when using Narrator.

Built-in administrator account

Dear All,
I was searching for the best way to secure the Built-in Administrator account on Active Directory and found the below two options suggested from Mircosoft. I would appreciate your help in recommending the best option:
1. rename account

2. disable its access

Hi,
I would say renaming the account and generate a strong password would be a good choice.

Factory set password for Windows Vista built-in administrator account?

I am attempting access the Vista built-in administrator account, which normally is not passworded unless the user does so. Mine, however, has a password that was set 11/20/2010 at 9:57:24 PM.
Was this p/w set by Toshiba? I assume so, as it was purchased directly from Toshiba. If so, any idea what that p/w would be? I need to use this account to recover my own admin account due to this error: The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.
Machine is a Satellite P300 S/N 29020124W, Part # PSPC8U-01G00Q.

No. But some programs like the Google Updater (if you added the Google Toolbar, Chrome or Google Earth) have been known to cause this problem.

Getting error after enabling the Transaction in SSIS package in Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard machine

Hi,
I created a package with "Execute SQL Task and Data Flow Task". I am able to execute successfully in my server having
"Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard" Operating System.
But after enabling the Transaction in my SSIS Package I am not able to execute it. It is giving error. The same package is running in my local machine with Transaction enabled on
Windows 7 Operation System.
The error which I got in my server after enabling the Transaction is
"The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D025
"The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.". End Error "
I search with this error message in google and found some solutions in the following links

Hi Sridhar,
Please compare the DTS settings on the Windows 7 computer and the Windows Server 2008 R2 computer and make sure they are identical. Make sure the “Allow Inbound” and “Allow Outbound” options are check, and pay attention to the authentication mode as
well.
Besides, make sure both Distributed Transaction Coordinator (TCP-In) and Distributed Transaction Coordinator (TCP-Out) rules in Firewall are enabled.
If the issue persists and there are any security/anti-virus software, temporarily disable the security/anti-virus software and check the issue again.

Since you have used an IP in the EM's URL, there can be one more possibility besides this that the EM service has been stopped(as suggested by others already) . It may be a reason that EM service is not up because the IP address has been changed due to a machine reboot. As 9/10 times, the IP addresses are assigned via DHCP on home laptops and desktops, if this IP address is no longer there, the EM service won't be up. But before we shall come to know about this that whether this is indeed the reason, try the command-emctl status dbconsole and if it says, not running EM, emctl start dbconsole. Post the output of the commands.

After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6. 10.6.7 now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard.

After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6.7. and now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard. Update Software says I need to do update to 10.6.7 which I can't do because administrator privileges are gone. I didn't back-up with Time Machine ,BAD, but I have all files backed-up on another hard drive. Should I just reformat and start over? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

PROBLEM SOLVED! For me at least!
Apple Support gave me the clue - I had run Migration Assistant, and it had obligingly replaced a system file (/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager) with the equivalent from my old system.
I reinstalled 10.6.7 using the DVD supplied and all is well.
The moral is - don't use Migration Assistant.
Along the way Apple Support provided me with a link to download Combo update 10.6.7: this could not be installed on my iMac.
Hope this helps.

IE 11, built-in Administrator account, window.open method, JA KB 2909974 exists.. not EN-US ?

As per title....
The JA KB (when translated) states,
If you use the built-in Administrator in Internet Explorer 11, when you open a new window named, such as window.open method, window name is not recognized.
Therefore, the following phenomenon will occur.
If you specify in the window.open method of the window named, rather than a window that is already open, URL is displayed in a new tab or new window
If you specify in the target attribute of the link or form window named, not the window that is already open, URL is displayed in a new tab or new window
What's Microsoft's comments on tracking to a resolution of this ?

Windows 10 Built-in Administrator account?

Well, that's a drag! So a domain administrator cannot use native apps?
I also don't understand why the OS is reporting the user as "Built-in administrator" as that is not the case.

I upgraded a Lenovo T530 from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It is joined to our domain and I am logged in as domain\administrator. Most everything works except many (all?) of the native Windows apps, Edge and calendar for example. When I try to open the app I see this:

Item Interface error - "The Cost of Sales Account specified is not a valid"

A week back we migrated from 11.5.10 to 12.1.3
Since then, many items are failing in Item Interface with the error "The Cost of Sales Account specified is not a valid account or has expired in organization ITEM MASTER INV."
Item Master being the 'Inventory master organization'. I checked the cost of sales account & sales account. and they are Valid also their corresponding segments are valid in their respective value sets.

ERROR MESSAGE : The Sales Account specified is not valid or has expired for the organization ITEM MASTER INV.
Please help.

The Cost_of_sales_account & Sales_account as defined in the MTL_PARAMETERS are different from those in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B for the corresponding item. The values for these accounts in the interface tables are same as that in the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B table and hence not same as those defined in MTL_PARAMETERS.
Actually we have a Custom trigger on the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B table which updates these accounts, once the item is created in the Master Organization.
To verify this issue, I updated the accounts on the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE table to match with that of MTL_PARAMETERS. Ran the 'Item Import', now those records are processed.
Does this means that, the Interface is validating the cost_of_sales_account & sales_account to match with that of the 'Organization' ??.
But we never had this issue in 11i. Is this a part of R12??

You are not addressing Apple here. And your post is a bit confusing. See Klaus's answer in this thread:

Nobody here can fix your problem, we do not work for Apple. And I have no idea what "Chrho" means. Neither does Google.
So - exactly what happens when you try to download a program? And from where are you trying to download it?
