Question : Domain Administrator Login Problem with Vista.

I have just purchased my first windows vista machine, I am using the business edition. I have a domain run on a windows small business server 2003 machine.

How can I choose to login to the vista machine with the domain administrators account, I try to ad the account but it tells me that the username administrator is already in use.

I add ed a user account when I set the machine up , and I can see the domain from that login, I can also browse the domain from that login. but I would like to log in using the administrator login, as I collect lots of email under that login and my user documents are are held on the server in the administrators my documents folder.
