Windows 2003 Local Users & Groups Question

[Jimtron26]

Hi all,

I have found the following User accounts in one of our Windows 2003 Servers...

Start > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Users

com
db2admin
newnew100
sys
sysadmin

These appear alongside accounts I have created and the obvious defaults eg Administrator, Guest etc

Can anyone tell me whether they are defaults and whether I am OK to delete them or not?

Many thanks in advance...

Jim

I do not know what these are and can't find a comprehensive list of what is in here by default and what is not....

OK, I have determined db2admin is a valid user however still not sure what the other 4 are

I have disabled the accounts to see what complains but if anyone can say what they are would be great

The rest are not default accounts.
