Folder Sharing using Computer Accounts

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

If you are not on this planet, please let me know how you did it !
What you describe is commonly done in order to all the machine's
System account to have access to the remote file, for example, for
a startup or shutdown script. If the access is to be done in the
context of the computer's System account (including by Network
Service going off-box), then granting to the domain member's
computer account is what one does do.
