Rename Admin in Local Policy or Users/Groups

[wutsitallabout]

Does anyone know if there is a difference in renaming the
Administrator account thru Local Security Policy
Settings>Security Options versus renaming thru Computer
Management>Local Users and Groups?

Thanks

I am not sure of much difference on a non domain machine. However in a domain,
the domain/OU/domain controller policy can override any local machine settings
configured either via security policy or through Computer Management and enforce
the change. --- Steve

Thanks Steve,

In this case I was referring to a non domain machine.
Again, a coworker says yes it's different.
