CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS missing...

[Billingsley]

Where can I find this group? I have checked in ADUC but it isn't there.
All (3) of my domain controllers are running Windows 2003 Server Standard R2
with SP2. I have read around that this is a domain local group but it isn't
in the builtin Users CN. Where can I find this group? Perhaps it was never
created.

TIA.

Hello Steven,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

This group only is created on the computer which contains CA service. If
you have not installed CA, the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS did not be created. I
believe these KB articles will be help for you:
