The error is: 1387 ERROR_NO_SUCH_MEMBER A new member could not be added to or removed from the local group because the member does not exist.
So, I'm guessing that NetGroupAddUser / NetLocalGroupAddMembers don't like the name "LocalSystem"; those API's expect "SYSTEM" (although they are case insensitive). The calls in the CA's are by user name, not by SID (although the latter can be). I can see where you might be confused, since the util:PermissionEx processing does turn LocalSystem into its associated SID. Thanks, Thomas S.
