Regarding Built in Admiin account

I have tried all ways given in the forum of activating the built in admin account but I have failed to locate it on my laptop. I just want to know what is the purpose of the built in admin, why is it hidden and why cant a normal user use it.

Hi,
Apologize for the late reply.
The built-in administrator is hidden by default, this account is basically a setup and disaster recovery account. And
Jesper Johansson has a good article for the built-in administrator account. See:
Why You Should Disable the Administrator Account.
Besides, for the ways about how to enable the built-in administrator in Windows:
Enable / Disable the Local (Hidden, Built-In) Administrator Account in Windows 7(the methods mentioned
also work in Windows 8/8.1)
If any further question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards

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.

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.

"Windows Server 2012 domain controllers have a default for the security setting named "Allow cryptography algorithms compatible with Windows NT 4.0" that prevents weaker cryptography algorithms when establishing security channel sessions."
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sushant,
>>Not Able to Promote DC to server even i am using built in Administrator Account.
I have seen your thread "Verification of prerequisites for Domain Controller promotion failed" and provided a reply.

In the reply, it provides a step-to-step guidance for setting up a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller. Have we followed it to promote the server?

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
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700835.aspx
2. disable its access
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn535492.aspx

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.
Thanks.

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.

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.

Net use map drive is working with built-in admin account only

I currently have a windows 7 PC that I use
net use in cmd file to map drive to Windows server 2008.
It works if I use built-in admin account/password but I've tried another account that's in the administrator group on the server and I get errors.
NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:adminuseraccount
NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:server\adminuseraccount
After tweaking the net use command a number of ways, the 2 following errors are what I'm getting for the most part:
System error 1219 has occurred.
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more
than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the
server or shared resource and try again.
OR
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
I've looked at many searches on this but can't get this to work.
Also, one thing I'm thinking of doing is changing the built-in admin name and password. Is this a safe thing to do?
Thanks,
Dave

Material movement should happen at standard price only. Kindly check what are you telling production order standard price must be price that is maintained in the material master only.
How did you determine the system is picking the moving average price in some cases at which period you are analysing.
Costing run is not being done you have mentioned then the standard price is same in every period.

TS1424 how do i speak to someone regarding charges on my account

Regarding change in the account number for an existing service number.

Hi,
Here the scenario is as it goes:
A customer with an account number(20xxx) has a service number(4206xxxxxxx) mapped to it.
In the month of September. Till 28/09, the account number is mapped to this service number. For the next two days. It has been moved to another account number(22xxx)
Now in the Billing Summary/Account Summary when I select the month of September, it should show me both the account numbers one contains some data and some contains the other. But it is showing only the old account number in the drop down.
select * from
select unique
'false' checkbox,
ad.account_key as account_key,
ad.account_num as account_num,
ad.contact_name as contact_name
from
EDX_RPT_ACCOUNT_DIM ad,
select
xr4.*
from
select
xr3.CHILD_KEY,
xr3.OBJECTURI,
xr3.OBJECTTYPE
from
EDX_RPT_HIERARCHY_XREF_DIM xr3
where
xr3.OBJECTTYPE='edx:amf:billingaccount:'
start with child_key in (?)
connect by prior child_key = parent_key
) xr4
EDX_RPT_HIERARCHY_NODE_PERIOD np
where
xr4.CHILD_KEY=np.XREF_KEY
and np.PERIOD_KEY=?
) xr5
where
xr5.OBJECTURI='edx:amf:billingaccount:' || ad.BILLER_ID || '|' || ad.ACCOUNT_NUM
and ad.ACCOUNT_NUM like '%' || ? || '%'
and ad.contact_name like '%' || ? || '%'
order by
account_num asc
order by
account_key asc;
Please let me know how to edit this query.
what I have done was: I removed this part " and ad.ACCOUNT_NUM like '%' || ? || '%'" and it was giving me all the account numbers in that month. But it was user specific and it may affect some other users.

Can you post some example data and expected output in a way we could use it?
And please edit your post to format the code using {noformat}{noformat} tags.
You've been a member here for long enough to have an idea how to ask a question and format code.... please read {message:id=9360002}

HI,
When you do any Configurations the system prompts for a TR and you have to create it. In case if you want to create a new transport request then you have to log off and then again log in do the configuration and save it and TR will be prompted and give the required information and save it. Later you can transport this TR to any system Quality or PRD.
Thanks & Regards,
