Active Directory administrator demoted to user after Windows update in NPM 12

I know that the most likely solution to this is to roll the system back before the windows update, but has anyone ever had NPM demote your user from an administrator to a domain user?

I applied windows update to both the polling server and the SQL server. Both servers are 2012 standard. SQL 2014 just updated to Service Pack 2 as part of the windows update.

Can't you just change it in via the database? Might be faster. Look in your accounts table.

Oh yeah

I never think to look at the database as my first option.

Anyways that worked. Thank you!

No problem. There is also a way to set a password there...by adding the hash for 'admin'. I recall doing that years ago. Obviously tread carefully with these changes...verify what you are pasting and where.
