The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server

This article was previously published under Q254934

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Showmbrs tool in the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit to view the members of a universal group, the output only lists members whose accounts are in the same domain as the universal group.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because users in other domains within the forest are not shown in the output of the Showmbrs tool.

RESOLUTION

To view the members of a universal group, you must use the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC Snap-In.
