I have had just one group working up until now where i'm having to add a second group. I cannot seem to get the second group to deploy. My first group is a domain local security group and worked like a champ. So i created another domain local sec group, but it doesnt work.

I read on another post that i should use Dist Groups for grouping? Should they be domain local? does it matter? Should i change my existing config to dist groups?

You can use security groups as long as they are not nested groups.

Nested groups only works with distribution lists.

Then you need to set one as the priority group in case the same user is found in both groups.

For more support, please post your status monitor log file.

what is a nested group? Both groups are domain local security groups

Security group nesting occurs when one security group is made a member of another security group.

I recommend using distribution group if you intend to use the group for email distribution rather than for security.
Adding a user to a large number of security groups will increase the size of the user's security token (e.g. NTFS, Public Folder permission), a problem that will be avoided by using distribution groups where a security context is not required.

The groups i have are not nested groups. That said, if it still matters that i am using security groups please let me know. I want to configure this correctly. I will change to dist groups if thats the right way to do it...what you guys think?

You should use Distribution groups ... Cool
