asked on 

All builtin user names cannot be added into Security or Sharing ?

We have AD 2003. We tried to assigned the permission using the Builtin objects, for example, Users, Administrators, Guests, or Backup Operators, etc. We just found out we are not able to. It simply just said "The object name cannot be found."
What could be wrong? Please help.

No, still not working with the domain name in front.
I also verified the 'Built-in security principals' is ticked for the Object type.
I'm wondering if there somewhere is a policy restricting it??
Its not a policy restricting it. Because in that case it wouldn't search at all, nor give you the error it couldn't find anything.

Okay, I found more details....
I found the Builtin user group names are available for setting up permission on the AD servers only. All other member servers don't recognize the Builtin names even the Builtin are defined in ADUC and supposed for the whole AD Domain, correct? Please help.
Can you verify if it is the case in your environment?

I think this is by design. I'm getting the same results.
