[ActiveDir] No more Everyone Group?

[Barber, Thomas]

Currently, we’re running Windows 2K AD Native.   Recently, I wanted to add the capability for all users to be able to use Exchange 2000 Webmail by typing in their UPN ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).  Since I already had the Pre-Windows 2000 SAM Account property populated, I populated the UPN with the same name, with the @domain.com after it.  This worked fine.   After this change, I have noticed several things have occurred:   1. You can not add the domain-based Everyone Group to a local group on a Windows 2000 or XP client.  We could do this before, but can not do this now.  Interestingly, you can still use the domain-based Everyone group for Folder and File permissions. 2. Some of the permissions I had set up for groups don’t seem to function anymore.  Specifically, I created a Computer Operators global group.  This group could add/delete computers to/from the domain; members of the group now get an access denied message.   Has anyone experienced similar issues?  Could this be caused by Group Policies affecting users with UPNs compared to users with only SAM account names?       -Tom Barber Systems Manager Alfred State College Alfred, NY 14802 (607)587-3558
