Convert them to distribution groups and they will retain their SID but no 
longer be inserted into a user's token. You can subsequently remark them as 
security groups if someone complains.

Subject: Finding unused/dead groups?


Is there a recommended way to determine which groups (be it Domain Local or 
Global) are still in active use in a given domain?

Ideal world Microsoft would give groups a "disable" property, but since there 
isn't, other than at some point hitting "Delete" and waiting for the phone to 
ring there doesn't seem any decent way to determine this.

Thanks.
