Actually in a multi INTRA domain model, global groups do not replicate membership information outside of their own domain only that group itself. Universal Groups DO contain membership data of groups across all GC's in a forest.
Assuming you have forest ...test.com and you have two child domains, sales1.test.com and sales2.test.com If a USG exists in sales1 that USG will be replicated to all GC's in the forest. If in native mode it will also replicate the group membership. The only caveat is to make sure that all of the domains are in Native Mode otherwise the USG do not populate membership info only that the group itself exists. Guido, I think you are referring to Trusts between Domains in different Forests.. Chris is dealing with child domains within the same forrest so this would be an Intra domain model not an Inter domain model by your terminology. Of course its late and the baby has been crying for an hour so my neurons could be polarized...

User needs access to resource in a parent domain (contoso.com). There is a universal security group setup for the resource in the parent domain. The user's account (from the child domain) has been added to it. When I look at the Group in AD I see the user, but when I look at the user's group membership in the child domain, it doesn't show her as belonging to that security group. I have seen this, which describes the symptoms exactly: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833883 Except I am connecting to a GC, not just a DC. I've used ReplMon, but so far I don't see any lag or issues with replication. Anyone run into this before?
