Is the NETWORK SERVICE account an implied member of the Users group? A
Microsoft support rep is telling me it is, but I have plenty of cases here
where I am not able to give that account access to a resource with Users,

strange as its token has builtin\Users in it

but only with either Authenticated Users or with an explicit DACL
permission
to NETWORK SERVICE.

Also, please confirm that NT_AUTHORITY\NetworkService is the same as the
local computer object named NETWORK SERVICE.

AFAIK yes, just differently displayed.
