Re: Secure way of renaming Administrator account
Just use a nondescript name... I agree totally with Dave. Why drive yourself crazy, anyway? Call it something like "janitors", or something along those lines, if you want to throw off anybody who sees it... hell... I have bad intentions, enumerate users and see an account called !!$54^^~dre@, I'm curious as I can get, at that point, anyway... worry about password strength, not cryptic user names, would be my best sense of a secure setup.
PS- once upon a time, I used to clone admin, leave admin as a real account, make the clone the admin, then set up the old admin account as a privilege-less account with audit set on virtually everything... that might make sense in some scenarios, but I soon concluded it was a lot of work for little or no real security advantage.
