XFOR: Built-in WinNT System Groups Not Added to Chat Sysop

Last reviewed: March 13, 1998
Article ID: Q182024

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

If you use the Microsoft Management Console for the Microsoft Exchange Chat Service to attempt to add one of the following Windows NT built-in system groups to the Chat Sysop Managers or the Chat Sysops account, the group will appear to be added but will not appear in the Member Name Pane. No error message will be displayed.

   Authenticated Users
   INTERACTIVE
   NETWORK
   SYSTEM
   CREATOR OWNER

NOTE: CREATOR OWNER can only be added on a local computer.

All other Windows NT accounts and groups, both local and global, can be added without a problem.

CAUSE

These built-in accounts are not listed in the User Manager window. However, when you administer a computer and Windows NT presents lists of groups, these special groups sometimes appear in the list, as is the case with the Chat Service.

RESOLUTION

These groups are not required as part of the Chat Service and should not be added to either the Chat Sysop Managers account or the Chat Sysops account through the Microsoft Management Console.
