Thanks for saving my sanity, Guido, I have for days been seeking the
missing userright or setting in ADUC to show the memberships :-)

Are there any easier method to show/set these memberships than cruising
through all the parent domain groups?

And BTW, copying a user no longer copies the parent domain group
memberships - argh!
