after upgrade of NT PDC to W2k3 AD a few of our groups are MOSTLY missing. They do not show up in UserManager or ADUC BUT they are still in there somewhere.
Because, On XP or W2k3svr I can see them if I try to add them to an ACL through add permissions – advanced, find now. Not however on a W2K box.
I also did following test using a directory that listed one of the missing groups in its ACL.
– in NT User Manager I recreated the group with the same name. It did not argue.
– in ADUC the group showed up ok in Users
– back to directory which now showed a SID for a ‘deleted’ entry.
– added the ‘replacement’ group back in.
Nothing really common between the missing groups. Lost 2 of 3 that started with I. All the M’s and a couple of R’s. In between it picked up a K group and a bunch of N’s. I know this probably doesn’t matter but you never know.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
