Apply Domain Local Groups on Member Servers
I have a problem that I just discovered. It seems that I am unable to apply permissions for any Domain Local Groups on any of my member servers? I can apply fine on the domain controllers but not on any member server... is there something special I need to to to allow domain local groups to be applied on the member servers?
If I was not clear I am trying to apply security to directories/files.
Thank you for your help.

This is right on..
Here is the problem.. we are running an Exchange 5.5 box that at one time was a BDC (technically still is) for my NT 4 domain that is now mixed mode with three 2K DCs and this NT 4 box.... there is no way for me to go native because of this box is there... ?

The problem is I cant do that. It is a NAS device and the Domain Local groups are on one of my domain controllers... the disk space that I bought is where I need to apply the permissions... and there are a ton of groups that have been created for this purpose. Previously we had no troubles because the disks that these permissions were applied to were ON the DC.. but we are taking that burdon off the DC and putting it on the NAS device... thus my problem has been revealed.
Perhaps my exchange upgrade is quicker that planned.

I am looking at using ... UPromote..

Anyone have any experience with this tool.. if it were not for Exchange 5.5 running on this box I would just pull the trigger on this tool but I hesitate because of Exch 5.5 on it.
Thanks

Well, that's exactly the tool I meant, but I don't have any experience with it, sorry; and I guess you found http://utools.com/Exchange.asp already.
As long as you don't have any leftover NT4 BDCs or plan to add NT4 BDCs, you should be able to switch over without problems.
