The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q153074 SYMPTOMS
If you are an administrator for Windows NT 3.50 or a 3.51 Workstation or
standalone Server, and you try to delete all the users from built-in groups
such as Administrators, you will get an error message that says the action
can't be performed on built-in groups.
On domain controllers, however, the administrator can delete everybody from
every group. The built-in groups and accounts can't be deleted, but all the
users can be removed from the group.
RESOLUTION
There is no workaround for this problem in Windows NT 3.50 or Windows NT
3.51.
STATUS
This problem is resolved in Windows NT 4.0.
