Sorry if you have seen this already but I think I posted it to the wrong
place.
I have just added a Windows 2003 DC to a Windows 2000 SBS
domain and I seem to be missing at least one system
account specific to windows 2003 (specifically
the 'NETWORK SERVICE' account). Before you ask I did
follow through the ADPrep routine prior to bringing the
2003 server into the domain, and all went well.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas on what
to try to get this system account to show/install itself?
The reason this was noticed and came about was due to a
problem with the fax service and running it on a domain
controller - apparently I needed to give the network
service account some user rights according to this link:

Upon trying to add the account I identified that it wasn't
listed therefore my current situation above ..
I am going to try to add the SID for this account (S-1-5-
20) directly to those rights and see if that solves my
problem in the mean time, but I would appreciate any
thoughts anyone might have on this still.
