Question about user permission in Win2K

[IcemanJer]

What does these system users mean in Windows 2000?

Authenticated Users --> basically non-guests?
ANONYMOUS LOGON --> logon to what?
BATCH --> no idea
DIALUP --> assuming the current computer is a dialup server?
INTERACTIVE --> what's the difference between INTERACTIVE and NETWORK?
NETWORK --> no idea
SERVICE --> system service programs, I'm guessing?
IUSR_(computer name) --> internet user?
IWAM_(computer name) --> no idea
VUSR_(computer name) --> no idea

Authenticated Users --> basically non-guests?

anyone who's successfully logged in to the machine.

ANONYMOUS LOGON --> logon to what?

Anyone connected to your machine anonymously, by default you can't get much anonymously.

INTERACTIVE --> what's the difference between INTERACTIVE and NETWORK?

Interactive logins have a desktop, most machines this means on the console but with TS and/or Citrix it can be a remote interactive session.

IUSR_(computer name) --> internet user?

IIS anonymous user.

VUSR_(computer name) --> no idea

This user comes with Visual Studio, not sure why though.

You're best bet is to read up on MS' site, they have a lot of docs and their search engine on support.microsoft.com sucks but works most of the time. google also indexed all of MS' support site so you can use that too.

and if you grab any book on 2kpro designed to prepare you for the MCP test, you'll find all of them listed with their definitions
