RE: [ActiveDir] Specifying builtin accounts in GPO settings.

Matt-

I don't think these accounts have well-known SIDs, so I'm not sure that's going to help. You can easily verify using psgetsid from Sysinternals. I checked a couple accounts here (though they were domain accounts) and they were not well-known SIDs.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Specifying builtin accounts in GPO settings.

I am trying to specify the builtin IWAM/IUSR accounts in GPO settings.  We have a set of servers within an OU where they require the account to have rights on the local servers, call them Server1, Server2, Server3.  We obviously don't want to create the setting for IWAM_Server1, IWAM_Server2, etc.... I believe that this account has a common SID, if I simply do a browse for the account on one machine, will it resolve to SID and apply the setting for all accounts, or is there another way to do this (like specifying "Builtin\Administrator" would work for the builtin Administrator account) no matter what the name happens to be on a local machine?
