hello

i am very new to Windows 2003 server.

An account Administrator.Sco was created after installing active directory on windows 2003 server. i am redirected to this account when ever i want to log in as local hosts administrator. The Virtual machine software(VMware) is no longer running because the account Administrator.Sco has limited rights.

is there a way in which i can log in as local host Administrator??
 
Local accounts no longer exist when a server is promoted to a Domain Controller, you can only log in as a domain user and by default, only a domain admin.

Thanks,
Andrew
