I assume that by copying the group you are trying to keep the same permissions you have assigned to files?

Like if group A has access to the HR and DEV share and you want to copy it and make a group B with the same access to the same shares.

if you need to provide same level of access to A and B why not just make one group and put all users in it? that way you can simplify administration. just my 2 cents.

Not possible. Not sure why you'd want to.

In the end I ended up nesting groups created a domain local group added GG groups into it

I was more curious as I'm trying to restructure a lot of things on the files serer I admin

before all users were in added in and no one was in groups.. I've just started trying to come up with a logical way of organizing the groups.
