Oh well, here's another unbelievable and utterly incomprehensible problem on my new domain. It seems that all new groups I create have no effect upon permissions.
I created a Global Security Domain group called 'Software Developers' and put myself into it. On my workstation I assign the group to various folders, but I find that the permissions are not applied. I have verified this behaviour with all new groups that I create. It's as if all new groups are empty and no permissions are altered. The new groups are also ineffective in SQL Server Security Logins. Groups that I created weeks ago when the Win2008 R2 domain controller was created behave correctly. New groups created in the last few days since I moved to this new DC machine do not behave correctly. As usual, I'm utterly flummoxed and this is a really serious problem for me. Any ideas on this would be most welcome. As usual again, I have no idea who to blame or where to look, so I'll just waste hours of unpaid time bumbling around Greg
