Depending on how you have structured your Group ID's you are less likelier to 
get this error if you base your search criteria on the Group ID of the group. 
It is a good practice therefore to have a good group ID naming convention 
wherein a like search for a group say $GROUP$ like ("100012;" + "%") would not 
result in finding another group that has its ID say 1100012. Remember to 
include the semi colon at the end of the Group ID as that is how the Group ID's 
are separated in the database in the C104 column of the T table belonging to 
the User schema..
 
Take a good look at the contents of the C104 column in your T table of the User 
schema to arrive at what might be the best search for you..

Don't you just have to "love" the LIKE %<Groupname>% functionality?

That's HD 5x for you... it is because of the LIKE queries...

To get "around" this in the past we put a non-descript character in the group 
name which is getting 'duplicated' so your your example if you change "Quest" 
to "Quest." (with a period) that will correct (circumvent) the issue although 
people might not like it but you get what you got.

I ran into an interesting problem today with group names that are similar.  One 
group is called Quest, and another group has the word Request in it.  Members 
of the group with Request in the name are seeing tickets assigned to the group 
called Quest without actually being members of the group.  When I change the 
group name to have anything other than just Quest it works correctly.  Has 
anyone seen this before, and maybe know the cause?  I could not find anything 
on the Remedy Support site or in the ARList Archives.  Any help would be 
appreciated.
