One user is added automatically to group Security - Resolution with screenshots

Q: We are running windows 2008 R2 as DC. Whenever we create a group or a user in Active Directory, one user named Mike will be added to the Security tab automatically as shown below.

1. It must have some default settings to add the user automatically. How can we remove him from the default settings?

2. Is there a way to remove him from the Security without going to each group one by one?

A: Re 1: Mike probably has got inheritable permissions on a higher (domain) level, although I would have expected the check box to be grayed out in this case. But still, look under Advanced, you will see where the entry is inherited from.

Re 2: You won't need to once you have found and removed the offending entry at the top level.
