Active directory
I have been been asked if I can help with this problem but am just starting to learn Active directory but am to inexperianced to help....can anyone offer some advice please.
Network running Active Directory as the Domain Controller for a 3 floor building on 3 subnets through a router. When attempting to assign NTFS permissions or Share permissions they can only see Global Groups and not the "Domain Local Groups" that have been setup foreach of the Organisational Units. When browsing the network only the global groups are shown, not the Domain Locals which are needed to sucessfully implement the appropriate permissions and rights for user groups.
Network clients are running Win2k Pro with 3 departmental fileservers and the Domain controller. Servers are running 2k server and the DC is running 2k Adv_Server
They created 3 OU's, 1 for each department, then added all Global and Domain Local Groups into their respective departments (i've got 01_admin, 02_sales/accounts 03_warehousing/stock_control e.g. all admin staff in admin OU as Admin_staff (global) then Admin_diary_softwareaccess as Domain Local. When looking for Admin_diary_softwareaccess to give this Domain Local permission to access the diary software none of the clients of departmental fileservers can see it. Also they tried typing in the Domain Local Group when config'ing the share and selecting "Check Name" but it just give an error that group doesn't exist. If they logon to the DC running Active Directory, they can see the Domain Locals within the respective OU's.
How to see the Domain Locals? or is it a configeration problem?
