We are running server 2000. My supervisor wants to rename the administrators
login and he wants to keep the administrator account but give it zero access.
 I really do not want to do this. I think the administrator account is too
important to mess with. I feel if you have a good enogh password policy and
change the password often enough then there will not be a problem. He wants
reasons why we should not make this change. I am looking for reasons as to
why we should not make this change. Any help is greatly appreciated.
