    OK, now I see you are continuing earlier thread rooted at
    news:OeDuZdDNEHA.2532@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl

    Have you opened the local policy and checked whether
    the policy for Administrator account status is set to Enabled ?
    This is in the computer section, Windows settings, security
    settings, local policy, security options.
