Ok, I am wondering, what is the SYSTEM user group?? I have 2 user Groups I use: Administrators and Users. I am currently planning on using the security templates in mmc. I only want to use 3 users: Administrator, User (part of the user group), and SYSTEM. do you think i am doing the right thing?? i am going to use the setup security template as the security configuration.

you don't want to create a "system" security group nor do you want to use the existing system security account for anything. System security account is used for services that run on the local machine. For the most part there are only 2 services that MUST use the system security account. They are DNS service and DHCP service.
