5. Choose the group scope.

The choices are

• Domain Local: For groups that will be granted access rights to network resources

• Global: For groups to which you’ll add users and Domain Local groups

• Universal: If you have a large network with multiple domains

6. Choose the group type.

The choices are Security and Distribution. In most cases, choose Security.

7. Click OK.

The group is created. However, at this point, it has no members. To remedy that, keep reading.

Adding a member to a group

Groups are collections of objects called members. The members of a group can be user accounts or other groups. A newly created group (see the preceding section) has no members. As you can see, a group isn’t useful until you add at least one member.

Follow these steps to add a member to a group:

1. Log on as an administrator.

You must have administrator privileges to perform this procedure.

2. Choose Start⇒Administrative Tools⇒Active Directory Users and Computers.

The Active Directory Users and Computers management console appears.

3. Open the folder that contains the group to which you want to add members and then double-click the group.

The Group Properties dialog box appears.

4. Click the Members tab.

The members of the group are displayed, as shown in Figure 11-11.
