works as designed.  Especially if you're using Domain Local Groups
(DLG). But in 2003 you can even not see the UG memberships of other
domains in ADUC.  This will likely be "fixed" in SP1 as only GCs would
have the potential to show UG-memberships from other domains anyways (a
filter was added in 2003 so that only groups of own domain show up on
the MemberOf tab of an object - in SP1 you're supposed to have a
choice).

Realize a "non-GC" DC doesn't know of the UG memberships of the other
domains and neither a DC nor a GC will show you the DLG memberships of
the other domains - as these are not replicated to the GC.

And wait until you try to recover accidentally deleted users in your
environment and recover them. Then not seeing the memberships will be
the least of your worries => they'll actually be missing from the other
groups...  Read this whitepaper if you want to know more:

Subject: [ActiveDir] Unable to see users group membership in trusted
domain

I have two AD domains, of which one is subdomain to the other.

In the child domain, most users are members of a number of security
groups in the parent domain.

All was well until recently, but after raising the domain and forest
level to 2003 i can no longer see the child domain users parent domain
membership under the user property "Member of". Furthermore, from this
property sheet i cannot add the user to parent domain groups anymore.

They are still members, everything works as expected, and i can add the
users to groups from within the group property - but that is a hell of a
job to cruise through the all groups everytime a user is created....

Please help :-)
