    Thanks all for your responses.

    Yes, I'm using uplevel machine (W2k3) and as I mention I can't add local
    users (when I'm doing "Add User or Group" I see only my domain users and
    groups and not the local users)
    If I just do "Add User or Group" and instead of doing "Browse" I write
    "NETWORK SERVICE" for example, is this OK?
    How can I test this? (simulate NETWORK SERVICE foe example)

    Thanks,

    Nir B
