RE: strange account in Win2k

["Rick Darsey" <rdarsey () aims1 com>]

I have seen this myself. What I have found is that the user will disappear
after a short time, and I was not able to modify it. I assumed that it was a
"cache" copy of the user account that I was actually modifying, but I may be
wrong.

If so, I would be glad to learn what it is.

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 ?
