Windows NT Groups Are Not Created Immediately after You Create Groups in a Membership Directory (258287)

WORKAROUND

• Force the group creation by restarting the Site Server Authentication service.
• Manually create the groups by using the Windows NT User Manager.
• Manually create the groups by using code similar to the following:

  Dim sADsPath
  Dim sGroupName
  Dim sDescription
  
  Dim oTarget
  Dim oNewGroup
  
  sADsPath = "WinNT://MyComputer,computer"
  sGroupName = "Site_MyOrg_Group1"
  sDescription = "A site server group"
  
  'Bind to NT
  Set oTarget = GetObject(sADsPath)
  
  ' Create new User object.  SetInfo must be called here to commit
  ' the new group to the directory.
  Set oNewGroup = oTarget.Create("group", sGroupName)
  oNewGroup.SetInfo
  
  ' Set basic properties on new group.  Note that SetInfo must be
  ' called a second time here to commit the Description property
  ' change.
  oNewGroup.Description = sDescription
  oNewGroup.SetInfo
  
  Set oTarget = Nothing
  Set oNewGroup = Nothing

  NOTE: The Windows NT group must be in the form "Site_MyOrg_Group1" for a membership group named "Group1" in a Membership directory where the root node is "MyOrg."
