Manage...

In SBS Admin Console, I can right click on a machine on
the domain (client), click Manage...and I can basically
see their credentials as if I fired off Control
Panel>Computer Management.

I want to rename the Administrator (local Admin) on each
client and set a new password for the renamed Local
Admin. Is it as simple as r-click the Administrator user,
rename, then set new password for him?

Also, I saw an article on the web that suggested disabling
the Guest account. What is the Guest account???

Thanks.

you can do it that way or open an MMC (start-run-mmc) and put in the machine
name and reset it that way. You may be able to script it too. The guest
account should be disabled by default...it was a bad idea for a temporary
account.
