I'm wondering if there is a way to set the Primary group for some user's in
an OU. I'm want to know what utility I could use to do this?

Thank you,

Mark

"The user's primary group applies only to users who log on to the network
through Services for Macintosh or to users who run POSIX-compliant
applications. Unless you are using these services there is no need to change
the primary group from Domain Users, which is the default value."

Sometimes you have to motivate us to CARE about an answer;
if we don't need it and we can see no reason for anyone else
needing it, then it isn't worth our time to RESEARCH the answer
for you....

You may think that those of use who answer regularly "know everything"
but much of the time it takes from a few minutes to an hour or more to
figure out a good answer -- some of us take the time to do that.

But the amount of time we take depends of the interest factor in the
question and usefulness of the answer to us or others.

No, because I don't care about the answer as it isn't USEFUl....
(and you might be correct so there is no reason to start a fruitless
search for irrelevant information.)

Just say, "No."
