I don't no how to word this but for non directory share acl's how could one see the group? Some seem linked to proxies and apps I assume they aren't visible via common methods or would they be?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have over 500 domain groups in our AD. I feel some are doing nothing, albeit have members but arent attached to any object/ACL?<br />
<br />
Is there anyway to see or search where all groups are &quot;attached&quot;, i.e. to a directory ACL?<br />
<br />
I think some will link to certain apps as opposed file directories - so I assume we wont be able to find exactly where they are attached? Or would we?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter.
