Thanks So Much Steve.
I had expected and hoped to hear that. However, we are
experiencing some strange occurances with created Admin
accounts. Such as random access denied, no sufficient
permissions to perform the task...(can't remember exact
words) errors to admin tasks. A co-worker believes that
the 2 accounts are different. Actually 2 co-workers claim
that when logged to each, the behaviour is different. I
myself have experienced it while logged on as the Built in
Administrator.

Ok so now I really am worried that something evil is going
on. All machines have renamed Admin accounts, Current
AntiVirus software. Security policies/settings have all
been followed per Microsoft suggestions as far as we can
tell.

Do you have any ideas what could be causing this? Also, is
there anyway that I can prove to my co-workers that the
accounts are supposed to function the same?

Thanks Again
