- TITLE :Spelling of Administrator Account Changes
- PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 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.
