Hello Marc, First of all. https://abhijitw.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/the-local-system-account/ is really outdated. The Explanation is simply incomplete. Yes, localy there is SYSTEM. But due to some i think sid/rid whatever wrong mapping its not working correctly in samba when you use GPO settings also. Per example. And its the last time...

...u have anything (a service, a task job, etc.) running on your _local_ computer that uses the SYSTEM account, then SYSTEM must be of course added to the local file system ACLs if this task, etc. should be able to access _local_ files. Here's a nice explanation of the SYSTEM account: https://abhijitw.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/the-local-system-account/ See also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684190%28v=vs.85%29.aspx https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/120929/how-the-system-account-is-used-in-windows Regards, Marc
