    Computer accounts are great for doing AD GPO's. Using them in ACL's can
    have big benefits , depending on how you need to use them. We use them
    in our call centers, where computers are used as terminals running
    mandatory profiles.

    Subject: Computer accounts in NTFS permissions

    It is my understanding that computer accounts can be used as security
    principals, but using them in a NTFS ACL seems to have no effect. Does
    computer account authentication only authorize accesses from the SYSTEM
    account? Can anyone point me toward some useful reading on the subject?
