Server 2003 -No Power users account under built in A & D

I have a windows 2003 server and when I go to active directory users and computers under the built in accounts there is no 'power user' account.  Is there some reason this is not a default account?  This server is a domain controller and a member of a domain that has one more domain controller in it and that server has the 'power user' account in it.

So if I have an application that must have the poweruser account on the ntfs permissions I can't use it?
You refer to Power User Account - is this a service account that was created and add to the Power User local group?

As such, there is no Power User account only a group.  Please let us know what groups this account is a member of.

There was an error message in the application log that actually said that I should find it and remove it because it could not identify a sid for it.  I actually just removed it from the user permissions that I had applied it to previously and that stopped the error message that was occuring every 5 minutes.  I then went to the ntfs folder and just gave the folder admin rights with full control and the software now works.  Thanks so much for all your help. I am struggling with all this stuff.
