Windows Small Business Server 2008 - Local Admin password


I'm running Windows SBS2008 and now I need to change the local admin password. Like Windows 2000-2003 server, in Server management, I was able to change the admin password in Local user and groups. Right now, that feature is not listed. Where might I find that feature?


Solution

  • Interesting... In my Server 2008 I have it listed right where you say it is (Server manager->Configureation->Local Users and Groups)... However, there are several ways to access this, and the best way I would recommend is via mmc.

    Step-by-step:

    1. Win+R
    2. type "mmc", hit enter
    3. File->Add/Remove Snap In...
    4. Scroll to Local Users and Groups in the "Available snap-ins:" box.
    5. Click the "Add >" button.
    6. Choose Local computer and click "Finish" button.
    7. Click "OK" button.
    8. Use as you normally would.

    Let me know if you have any trouble.

    P.S. Maybe this is a question better suited for ServerFault?
