Thanks for the reply.  I appreciate it.  Is it safe for me to assume that the only consideration in doing this is the token size?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Coleman, Hunter Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 9:24 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Switching distibution lists to security groups   Rob-   This came up just the other day.
