65563 2002-07-26 05:53:00 still using nt domain controller, however have 2k pc's starting to be added, no biggy. BUT unable to use the local groups created on the domain controller on the 2k machines (permissions for sharing etc...)

can see global groups and local users from the domain but need to be able to see local groups when giving permissions on the 2000 pc's

any ideas?

65565 2002-07-26 07:07:00 users are assigned to Global groups
You add the local groups to a global group and assign the global groups to the users
The local group provides local access to a shared resource and the global group distributes it as required

65566 2002-07-26 08:26:00 Local groups, from memory, are for larger networks. Global groups are for smaller ones. Never made sense when I did the exam.

65567 2002-07-26 08:36:00 I was slightly wrong
You add the global groups to the local groups which is the confusing part at first
eg: ctdp.tripod.com

65568 2002-07-27 05:36:00 Not sure about NT as I have started with Win2k ... but in Win2k U-G-L-R applies. That is : (U)sers go into global groups - (G)lobal groups go into domain local groups - domain (L)ocal groups are used to apply permissions to (R)esources ... jpreou (1217)
65569 2002-07-28 22:27:00 ok, to save confusion

A is primary domain (nt), holds all of the user accounts

B is the sub domain (nt), holds all of the pc accounts
imagine a dinner plate with 6 potatoes on it, the plate is domain A, potatoes are sub domains B,C,D etc...

resources are shared via local groups on domain B
e.g. area1, area2 etc.... with the A Domain as members in these groups.

unable to add the resources to A domain due to restrictions in place eg would put us over the MS (bill gates) limit of 10 000, names per domain)

win 2k only registers local groups as the local machine not domain local groups. this is what we need to overcome.

and yes the win2k machines are members of domain B and cannot be added under domain A

65570 2002-07-29 00:10:00 Set up trust relationships between the domain controllers.

I get the impression the primary domain is on the PDC and the child domains are on either standalone servers or BDCs.

Given that NT 4 Server trust relationships are explicit - that if domain A trusts domain B and domain B trusts domain C, then domain A does NOT trust domain C, you may want to upgrade to 2k Server. Trusts are also one-way and require significant planning. Yes - for a "two-way" trust you need to create two one-way trusts.

2k server trust relationships are implicit - that if domain A trusts domain B and domain B trusts domain C, then domain A DOES trust domain C. Also, trusts are two-way

65571 2002-07-29 00:13:00 More to that - if you decide to explore upgrading, given your area of employment, you may find Advanced Server more suitable. Merlin (503)
65572 2002-07-29 01:20:00 thanks,

didn't work but thanks
server upgrade later on this year,
