SYMPTOMS
After you install Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, and then you create a Windows or a Netware share with default settings, the following error message occurs:

EVERYONE group is not valid

However, the share does create successfully. You can remove and you can add the Everyone group to the share permissions, and there is no error.



CAUSE
When checking for account existence, some built-in account names exclude the domain prefix. For example the account name may display as &quot;Everyone&quot; instead of &quot;\machine name\Everyone&quot;. This prevents the account from being recognized.
