I am not quite sure I understand the question but the built-in administrator account in Windows 2000 is called Administrator. Any other account you create that you want to have admin privliges needs to be added to the administrators group.

But remember that Administrator account could be renamed also. So my question is: how to identify which account that is the built in admin account (the account that create during setup) and which account is the admin account that create by the user (network administrator)??? If it is possible, could we identify this issue in MSDOS??

:-D Try to delete it and if it's built-in account it will refuse the dleeting process.

I think this is the risky method. If it is not the built-in account, it would gone. Whether you can create a new account with the same name and group membership, it each account has a unique id that would be load a difference profile.
