SYMPTOMS
When you use the net localgroup  &quot;nt authority\authenticated users&quot; /add command to add a built-in group to a domain local group in Microsoft Windows 2000 Server or Microsoft Windows Server 2003, you receive the following error message:

System error 1388 has occurred. A new member could not be added to a local group because the member has the wrong account type.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because domain local groups can contain any security principal except a built-in group in Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, do not add a built-in group to a domain local group in Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003.
