Can and how do we view information about what built-in accounts (same as NT
Authority accounts?) are present in my computer/domain?
 
For a computer use " net user " to view all accounts. For a domain open AD
Users and Computers and look in the users container for user accounts that
have "built-in" in their description. Of course that assumes they are still
in the users container and have default descriptions. If that is the case,
you can select view/filter and filter the view for user accounts that have "
built-in " in their description to show just those accounts. --- Steve
 
Thanks for your response. I have tried net user but am seeing only the
accounts that I see in computer management. How can I see the built-in
accounts and who belongs to the built-in accounts?
 
Net use should show the buit in accounts along with other acounts. Guest and
administrator are two built in accounts. Your statement "How can I see the
built-in accounts and who belongs to the built-in accounts?" does not make
sense because an account is a leaf object. I think you may be refering to
groups. If you mean groups and are referring to "special identities" such as
authenticated users, I don't know of a way to enumerate their membership and
they can not be manged by administrators. The link below helps explain
default built in groups including special identities. If you run gpresult
while loggen onto a computer it will show all the groups you and the
computer belong to including special identities.
