using the memberof option will preserve existing members in the target group
using the member option will NOT preserve existing members in the target group 
(if I'm correct the administrator account is not removed form the 
administrators group)
 
The fun part with restricted groups feature is that it will "protect" the 
configuration while the server is running and startup scripts will not

Thanks Jorge,
 
I only want this script to run at Startup, it's for new servers that are built, 
as soon as they logon I want the group to populate to the local group so that 
our Ops team have access. The existing servers already have been done via a 
previous script.
 
My knowledge of Restricted groups is limited, but from what I read its quite 
powerful. Does Restricted Groups remove the existing members of a local 
administrators group on a Server or Workstation once it's been enabled.

        Sam applies for shutdown scripts, logon scripts and logoff scripts -> 
only when resp. shutdown, logon, or logoff occurs
        
        What you want to use is the restricted groups with the memberof option. 
(also through GPOs)
        
        The member option dictates what the members of a group are and each 
member in the group but not in the list will be removed
        The memberof option does not dictated who the members are. It only says 
that some sec. princ. is a member of a group

        Hi,
        
        I plann! ed to use a startup script to populate a global group to a 
local group on series of Windows 2003 Servers in a single w2k3 domain so that 
any new Servers which are built other than myself will be automatically 
populated with this group. The Servers are placed in an sub OU.
        
        My colleague has just said Startup Scripts do not run against 
Servers....is this correct? 
        
        If this is, does anyone have ideas as to how I get the group to 
automatically populate to all new Server builds without having to do it 
manually. 
        
        thanks,
        - Frank
