Microsoft says that GG are the way to go, but every network is different. If you have an admin that knows how to clean up the structure when someone leaves then managing this situation by individuals would probably be ideal.
Oppturnity of Scale. Microsoft doesn't normally recommend a very good practical solutions for situations when the groups are as small as what you are need ing to do.

Thought I'd throw it out here. I know the mantra goes, "manage by groups, not individuals". However, I have a question that I'm hoping someone may have some thoughts on. Say I create a group called "HRO Users" and put the entire section of 8 people in it. Call them Users A through H. I then create four shared folders on my file server and want to give various HRO users access. But not all of them in the HRO Users GG. HRO Management - A, B, C, D HRO Clerks - E, F, G, H HRO IT - A, B, E HRO Exchange - C, D, F Is creating a GG for Each folder the proper/best way to give these people access? I then have to have five GGs for 8 users. A couple more folders and I'm up to a one to one ratio which doesn't seem logical to me. Is there a better way? To make this a little on-topic, I've read that you can manage your PFs using DLs and the same concept. Does anyone do this? Seems like an awful lot of DLs... Thanks.
