I just built a machine using a Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 32-bit
OEM DVD this weekend.  Once Vista was installed and activated, I
discovered that the Administrator account was disabled by default.  I
did some work using the administrator-level account I created during
installation, but I didn't like this approach -- I wanted the real
Administrator account.  So, I STFW and enabled it using the Local Users
and Groups MMC console:

I finished up with the real Administrator account, including installing
Cygwin and sshd.  I made the changes noted above plus another (/var?),
and had the script create an account to run sshd.  sshd works.


HTH,

David
