That is nice to know, but what I am interested in is how does Windows currently handle that, like backup capabilities, etc. It is clear that NT handles it localy (in the registry as JFM suggested) and that maybe W2K in compatibility mode does. However, what does ADS currently do? How does a workstation get informed as to the capabilities of a user on this workstation?
