Hey Robert,

In the article you posted, the registry key is incorrect in the KB
content.  It lists the registry key as:
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Directory

However, the correct registry key is:
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Directory UI

I've sent a comment to my former employer to ask for them to fix the
article...next time, test it *before* you post!

Your Alter Ego,
Robert Williams

Hey Graham,

This may not be what you're experiencing, but it could be worth it to
check to see how many members you have in the group(s) in question.  By
default, if the group has over 500 members in it, the user icons inside
the group will turn grey.  Check out this article for more information:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q281923/

Let us know if that turned out to be the cause.

Have a great day!

Robert Williams

Dear all, am experiencing issues that i think attributable to the
concept of Active
Directory phantoms

the symptom is that when we open certain global groups the membership
list comes out
with grey icons

this is not all groups - affected ones being - Domain Users / Domain
computers

must confess to not a full understanding of the issue here -but it seems
this
relates in some way to GC lookup ??

i can for sure confirm that the GC port 3268 is open on the GC's

not sure why as the group / user members are in the same domain ?

after the understanding of what is going on here is, of course 'HOW DO
WE FIX' ??

technet seems to reference a concept of 'phantom clean up task' - a
process that
runs on the server running 'INFRASTRUCURE MASTER' fsmo role on a
scheduled basis to
resolve the directory issue.

would seem not in this case ?

as a point to note, neither netdiag or dcdiag are coming up with nothing
concliusive
in this respect.

help as always gladly received

GT
