Usually, having a domain/local user in the local "administrators" group will
be a solution to this issue.  If you want to rename the Administrator
account, you can do so, however it's always going to be the original
Administrator account based on it's local SID (ends in 500).  So you can
rename it to Bob and create a new account that is in the local
administrators group named Administrator if you wish.

Its there a way to 'fake' an administrator account? I ask because our 
MRP software requires the user have complete local privliges (power user 
accounts do not work) I've complained but changing MRP software is not 
an option. We have alot of small fires because the users of the MRP 
software have to be administrator on their own box. Thanks in advance
