>>>Hi,

>>>I am investigating an "issue" with ASP.NET application. So far I cannot figure our one thing. The customer has several of this applications, on different VMs. On some VMs, in the application folder, when I go to Properties -> Security, I see a group (image of two faces) with the name the same as the folder name. For example:
>>>Folder C:\MYAPP_XYZ - the Group name in the Security tab MYAPP_XYZ. This "group" has full rights to the folder. But on some other servers, I don't see this group.
>>>
>>>I asked the customer IT, and he does not see such group in the Domain.
>>>
>>>Any idea how this group (of the same name as the folder) could get in the Security tab?

>>Defined on the same box, not on the domain server?

No, or perhaps yes... there is no domainName\groupname syntax in group names? Then the groups are probably defined locally, on the same machine, not on the domain. Just a guess, because I generally try to stay away from IT police matters. But they get in the way too often, so one has to know some of their stuff, willy nilly.
