Hello,
Just noticed this folder in my AD Users and Computers MMC. I've looked for info on this, but couldn't find any. Is this something i should be concerned about?

thanks,
k
 
No need for concern. It's what is known as a "built-in" group.

When a trust is established between a Win2K domain in one forest and a Win2K domain in another forest security principals from the external domain can be granted access to resources in the forest. They are known as "Foreign Security Pricipals".

Unless you specifically establish a trust with another AD forest this folder will be empty.

Hope this helps,

SL
