This is the first I have every heard of it.  Looking into it, I found the
following:

    "A computer account name always has a trailing dollar sign ($). You can
use any APIs that takes a user account by passing in the computer name with
a dollar appended to it. With COMPUTERNAME$, you can use LookupAccountName()
API to get the SID of the computer."

You can use GetComputerName() to get the name of the local computer, and
then append '$' to it.
