Because it retains its security identifier (SID), a renamed user account retains all its other properties, such as its description, password, group memberships, user environment profile, account information, and any assigned permissions and rights.
•
A user name cannot be identical to any other user or group name of the computer being administered. It can contain up to 20 uppercase or lowercase characters except the following:
" / \ [ ] : ; | = , + * ? < >
A user name cannot consist solely of periods (.) or spaces.
