Look for "member of"  instead of "members"

 

The two properties are Members and Member Of. The Members list defines
who belongs and who does not belong to the restricted group. A group can
be a member of groups other than those listed in the Member Of section.
The Member Of section simply ensures that the restricted group is added
to the groups listed in Member Of. It does not remove the group from
other groups of which it is a member. 

 

When a Restricted Groups Policy is enforced, any current member of a
restricted group that is not on the Members list is removed. Any user on
the Members list who is not currently a member of the restricted group
is added.

Subject: GPO to add a group to all configured systems and LEAVE all
groups currently in place.

 

Hello!

 

I have a GPO that is set to add a group called "helpdesk" as a member of
the Builtin\Administrators group on the systems for which the GPO is
configured.  It does do this, however it REMOVES every other user or
group that is already configured and replaces it with "helpdesk" which
is not useful for the people who use the computers and need the admin
privilege on it.

 

Is there a setting I am not finding that will just 'append' the
"helpdesk" group to the list of BUILTIN\Administrators instead of
'replacing' everything?

 

It is currently configured under:

 

Computer Configuration

--Windows Settings

----Security Settings

------Restricted Groups

--------Group:BUILTIN\Administrators   |  Members: PHY-AST\Helpdesk

 

Thanks!
