Creating Global Groups or Domain Local Groups
Hi guys hope you are all well and can assist.
Id like some advice.
We have an AD 2003 domain.
1 parent domain and 1 child domain.
The parent domain is a placeholder domain only.
I need to create around 60 groups, which will house users that are located in the child domain.
The purpose of these groups is for adding users into one of these groups based on what country they reside in. So each group is a country group.
What I want to know is should I create these groups as
Domain Local Groups
or
Global Groups
And a reason as to why I should create one over the other, and in what cases would it be necessary to create these groups as either domain local or global?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Mike, you are right. We are in essence running a single domain, since that is where all your users are. We just use the parent as a placeholder. When you say we may wish to add accounts from the other domain at some point, is that because global groups, if created in our child domain, cannot accept users that reside in the other domain?
