Note: this article only pertains to the setup of the first Active Directory domain controller in a domain. When setting up the first DC, DCPromo will use the local admin’s username for the domain admin username. So if you had changed the local admin username to "ABCAdmin" and then run DCPromo on that server, your domain admin would be named "ABCAdmin." You can rename the account afterwards, but this is something to be aware of. DCPromo also uses the local admin password the domain admin's password.
