AD Domain Local Groups and Vista

I have recently installed a clean install of Vista Business on a workstation
in my home/office. I had the workstation join the domain and everything
seems to be working ok with one fairly major exception. For some reason, I
haven't been able to ascertain, my domain local groups are not showing up
when I go to assign security settings for the workstation.

Is this normal?

No - not normal.
I have no problem adding domain local groups to the ACLs on a workstation
that is a domain member.

Is your domain in Mixed Mode Domain Functional Level? Domain Local Groups
are only visible on DC's in mixed mode, they become visible to all machines
in 2000 native or above.

HTH,
