RE: [ActiveDir] [Slightly OT] Delete inhibit DOMAIN\Remote Manage ment group from local admins...

So the merge situation is unfortunate. That would be really nice and is something the gp team is aware of. Anything else I should pass along to them for this feature?   ~Eric     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of GRILLENMEIER,GUIDO (HP-Germany,ex1) Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 8:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] [Slightly OT] Delete inhibit DOMAIN\Remote Manage ment group from local admins...   Excellent - I've previously always worked by defining a group's Member attribute instead - it's clear now, how MemberOf should make the difference...   However, the following restriction is still not so cool: "Restricted Groups policies for the same group do not merge across GPOs. The effective policy is determined by the order of the Group Policy processing." - A choice to allow the GPO restricted group processing to "merge" or "replace" would be much better.   However, applying restricted groups this way will already solve many exising issues with this feature...

With that in mind I'd be interested in hearing thoughts/criticisms of this feature. I can take them back to the GP team for consideration going forward.   ~Eric     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of deji Agba Sent: Sunday, February 29, 2004 10:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] [Slightly OT] Delete inhibit DOMAIN\Remote Management group from local admins...   Man!
