Groups Explanation

donald7862003

Please i need a little help !!!

I understand groups a little. I know that universal groups are able to access resources across domains and forest if that applies. I know global groups are domain wide. But domain-local is frustrating. Is the domain-local group for resources on that DC or is it like a global group. Please help me understand thanks

Did you check out the Tech Notes on managing groups? If not, the explanation there might help you:

If you need more help after reading that post back and we'll try to help clarify it for you.

I memorize this a weird way but maybe it will work for you...

*think of only applying groups to file permissions

Domain-local = LOCAL to the domain when assigning file permissions
Global = global to the domain when assigning file permissions
Universal = universal to the domain when assigning file permissions

once I have remembered that I can construct the rest of the arguments by assigning opposites to adding users to the groups

domain-local = global (the opposite of what is remembered above) to adding users
global = local (the opposite of what is remembered above) to adding users
universal = always universal

This a memorization tactic not an explanation of what it does.
