Domain Users are Validated as Guests Only (112583)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q112583 SUMMARY
If you remove the Domain Users global group from the Users local group on a
Windows NT server, users of the domain may only be validated in the Guests
local group. If you disable the Guests group, users might not be validated
at all.
MORE INFORMATION
To make local domain administration easier, a local group consists of users
and global groups from one or more domains. You can use local groups to
manage resource use in the local domain.
If the Domain Users global group is not listed in the Users local group,
users might not get validated as legitimate domain users; they may only
receive guest privileges. Although the best solution is to put Domain Users
in Users, you can also enter specific domain users in the Users group.
