| Hello, I've just joined a company where its main language is Portuguese, now
I'm going to change the DC fora 2008 R2 machine and I want to transfer all
the built in accounts to the english names. Did anyone ever tried to do this
or knows any way to do it?

| I haven't played with this feature, but it's my understanding that "DisplaySpecifiers" are what you want to look at. In a nutshell, the displaySpecifiers allow AD to present a different "view" to folks depending on what language and locale they have chosen on the computer they are on. The actual accounts and attributes don't change names, it's just that the interface shows you language/locale appropriate names. You might do a search on AD and displaySpecifiers to find out more for yourself.

| I think display specifiers is more about massaging the display of
attribute names / labels in ADUC and the like (which is a fairly
obscure thing I have not seen done in practice), whereas the original
poster is talking about renaming the built-in accounts.
For example, instead of sAMAccountName = "Administrators" on the
builtin group, you might get sAMAccountName = "Administrateurs" with a
French installation. I will be very frightened if anything in the AD
stack dynamically changes the apparent value of sAMAccountName based
on the current user's culture and language. ;-)

but the true is that for example, the admin account is administrador i
want it to be Administrator as for all the others built in accounts and
groups!

| The built-in groups are created in AD with the language specified by the default language of the first DC in your forest/domain, that you created.
Officially these can't be renamed as they are protected objects. Technically you can remove that protection, perform a rename and the re-add that protection, as the SID, GUID, DNT etc. all remain the same. But I sort of doubt that this is a procedure that Microsoft officially supports.
So I hope that someone from the product group pics this up on this thread - as I'm not going to publically describe the method of removing the system object protection in this forum.
