adding a security group to a distribution group

I wan to add a security group to a distribution group on active directory..how can we do this process?

Hi

From the AD console's view menu choose "Advanced Features"
Now on the Distribution's group properties should appear a security tab
From here you can add the security group you desire with the needed rights

I believe you are asking about actually making a Distribution Group a member of a Security Group. This is certainly possible and you should be able to do it by going to 'Members' on the Distribution List, pressing Add and entering the name of the Security Group.

For DL email to also go to the security group, the security group needs to be mail-enabled.
