adminstrator account locked down

[Guest Some IT Guy Pa]

I am not sure how/when this happened, but in upgrading from IE 6 to IE 7 on a

Windows 2003 R2 SP2 terminal server, it appears the 'administrator' account

has been locked down.

 

Because of this, I could not get through the run-once setup on IE7 and

windows update will not work. If I log in using another userid that has

admin priviledges (but not called 'administrator') all these features work.

 

Is this a security feature that got introduced and I just never noticed? Is

there a article somewhere with more details on this? The searches I did have

not shown up anything useful.
