I think someone started this, but I can't find it using the search.... however I am reading through the 2003 Upgrade white paper and in it I read....

"Rename or Disable the Administrator and Guest accounts in each domain to prevent attacks on your domain"

I know since the days of NT4 we have been advised to disable the guest account, so I have two questions....

1. If I disable the administrator account (sometimes used as the system account, by many installed programs... including microsofts!), how will I obtain the privileges to upgrade?

2. If having an administrator and a guest account puts my domain in danger, why the f**k do they install them as default in the first place?

Its like, have a car that doesn't need a key to start it, but hey, just in case it might get stolen you might not want to use that facility, here have a key....
