    For a server on a Windows Domain, what is the membership of "BUILTIN\Users" exactly?

    (I figure this has an obvious answer, but googling hasn't given me any clear definitions)

      If you could expand your question a bit, what exactly are you not clear about?

      @jscott - I just couldn't find a definition for it! But your answer is ideal, thanks.
