SYMPTOMS
An attempt to grant security to a Windows NT predefined group or "Built-in" Windows NT group may return the following error message:

Error 15401: Windows NT user or group 'NT Machine\NT Group' not found.

Check the name again.



WORKAROUND
To grant access to a built-in local Windows NT group with SQL Server 7.0, use the BUILTIN\GroupName as the group name.

For example, to add the Windows NT predefined group Backup Operators to SQL Server 7.0, add the following as the Windows NT Group:

  BUILTIN\Backup Operators
