CAUTION
Be careful changing the membership of the built-in groups. For most networks, while
it's important to understand what these groups are and how they work, you generally want to leave
them alone.
Generally, you work only with groups defined in the Users container. Figure 17-10
shows the default groups in the Users container, which you can distinguish from user
accounts by both the two-person icon and the type designation.
To add a new group, select the Users container in the left pane. Then open the
Action pull-down menu, choose New, and choose Group. You see the New Object
Group dialog box, as shown in Figure 17-10. Enter the name of the group in the first
field. You'll see the name you enter echoed in the second field. This field enables you
to specify a different group name for Windows NT (pre-Windows 2000) computers.
However, using different group names is usually not a good idea, because it can
quickly make your system confusing.
