So what? Distribution groups have nothing to do with Group policy or
security - they're for *mail* distribution, via Exchange 2000.
>From the Active Directory Users and Computers help files:
"Distribution groups are not security-enabled. They cannot be listed in
DACLs. Distribution groups can be used only with e-mail applications (such
as Exchange), to send e-mail to collections of users. If you do not need a
group for security purposes, create a distribution group instead of a
security group."

Ah, but, there are two types of groups in AD. Security and Distribution.

Nope. Security Groups can only be used to deny access to a Group policies
applied to an OU. You cannot selecively apply a Group Policy to a security
group.

Subject: Auto-install software in AD
I am trying to auto install an app using the Group Policy Interface. I have
created an OU for the app, Created a group policy, and under Computer
Configuration|Software Settings|Software installation created a new
Configuration|package.
The thing is, the only way I can get the software to install is to move the
computer from the computer folder into the OU.
Is there a way to do it using groups so that I don't have to change the OU
for the computer?
