RE: strange account in Win2k

These account ID's are usually domain accounts that are not (yet) identified
by the local machine. It could also be an account that no longer is
recognised by the local machine.

We have the same occurrences here, but waiting for a bit usually clears up
everything to an understandable domain account ("domain\username ")

Subject: strange account in Win2k


While setting additional privileges on a Win2k webserver  I noticed that
certain privileges (logon as batch job, act as part of o/s, logon locally
and network) were applied to a very strange account -
*S-1-5-21-527237240-162531612-725345543-1008 which is not seen as a user
account. Any ideas folks ?
