    I did a in-place upgrade from Windows 2008 Foundation to Windows 2008 Standard to Windows 2012 Standard on a one server environment that is also a DC. After the in-place upgrades completed I now have a corrupted admin profile that shows administrator.000. Since this is a DC I cannot delete the profile from users and groups. 

    I can log onto the server fine as domain admin and everything appears to be operating as it should. How can I fix this profile? Should I just change the registries profile?

    Set is showing

    Hi,

    It could be caused that when performing the in-place upgrade, system noticed that an old Administrator account already exists so it creating a new one with the name Administrator.000. I also found a similar issue which joined a server to 2 different domain. So it created an Administrator.000 when joined the second domain as the Administrator is already created in first one.

    However I failed to find a way to rename it as it is a domain controller.

    1. Microsoft preferres migration to in-place upgrade that is long and risky. You could migrate from Foundation directly to 2012.

    2. Have you checked the health of your system after first migration and administrator profile?

    3. Have you checked the health of final AD?

    4. The affected profile is that of Built in Administrator?

    5. It seems that the SIDs do not match and that causes the appearance of another user account http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=31429

    1 - You cannot upgrade to Foundation 2012 directly this is to supported. You can only goto Foundation 2008 to 2008 Standard then 2012 Standard. The installer wont even let you jump like that I tried. 

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979563(v=ws.10).aspx

    As I stated above everything is operating as it should - Health is fine. Just want to change the domain admin profile back without the 000.

    I have already read that link you provided in step 5 and this doesn't pertain to me as this is a domain controller.
