Spelling of Administrator Account Changes (103054)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q103054 SYMPTOMS
When you join a domain whose domain controller uses a different
language, the spelling of your administrator account changes. For
example: If you have a French domain controller, the default
administrator account is spelled "administrateur." If you join this
domain from a Spanish backup domain controller as an administrator,
you will not be able to use the Spanish spelling, "administrador."
CAUSE
When a backup domain controller joins a domain, it receives a copy of
the security accounts manager (SAM) database from the domain
controller. This includes the spelling of the administrator account.
WORKAROUND
There are two ways you can work around this behavior. You can create
administrative accounts on the domain for all the different spellings
of administrator. Or, you can add the necessary user accounts to the
domain Administrators group and not worry about the spelling of
administrator.
