Change the Windows Server 2019 Administrator account name

Hello.

If you change the Windows Server 2019 Administrator account name,

1. A notification appears saying, "There is no mapping between the account name and the security identifier."

2. When you type the whoami command in cmd, it still appears as Administrator, not the account name you changed.

Question number 1 seems to have a problem with SID mapping,

I wonder if the problem is solved by rebooting the server for both number 1 and number 2.

Thank you.

  • The profile may now be corrupt. You can create a new account with local administrative rights, logon with new account, then after saving off docs, etc. from corrupt/abandoned profiles use Control Panel|Users and Passwords and delete the old profile stores. Then when you next logon a new profile is created from an image in\default user
