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. > Go ahead and prove me wrong. 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." |
