What is the restricted group that is visible in regedt32
hklm permissions. These are the default permissions !

In a domain I can also add this group to NTFS file
permission, but only from the domain, not from the local
machine.

Is this in any way related to the restricted groups that
can be created in group policy ?

Thanks
Brian
 
Brian,

The "RESTRICTED" group is a special built in group. It is really just a
SID placeholder that is reserved for future use.

The restricted groups in GPOs are different and have nothing to do with the
RESTRICTED group. The "Restricted Groups" in a GPO allow an administrator
to control user account memberships and restricted group membership in
other groups.
It is outlined in detail in KB 228496:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=228496.

Hope that helps.

Ben, is the restricted group "SID placeholder" actually
documented anywhere ?

Thanks
