In addition to permissions for the administrator account
on one of my windows 2000 servers system drive (c:\) the
following is there also:

5-1-5-21-19356556697-15447161642-1606980848-1007, the
permissions are full control.

What is it? Can I remove this? I have other windows 2000
servers that do not have this.

Thank you.
 
Hi

The object that you see can either be a user that has
been removed from the system. It can also be a user that
is still on the system but has not yet been identified by
the property page. All objects that you create get a
number like that one and it's called a SSID number. All
system objects is built on that number, were you see a
name for an object the system seas a SSID number. Like
Bob for an example the user Bob is for you seen as the
name Bob were the system see the number 5-1-5-21-
19356556697-15447161642-1606980848-1007 instead. If you
delete the user Bob and then create the user again the
system then identifies user Bob as a new object not the
Bob that was before because the number is newer the same,
it is always a unique number for every newly created
object in the system. The number can also be a Group
object that has been removed or for some reason not been
identified with the name you understand. You can either
leave it there or you can, if you have full system
rights, remove the object and then make a control so that
every object that should have rights to the system volume
has it.
