For the properties of a group in active directory, what is
the difference between a security group and a distribution
group? Thanks in advance...

Dan,
The short answer is that a Security Group can be used to
apply permissions. Both Security and Distribution Groups
can be mail-enabled.
If I might think out loud, I like to keep the two group
types separate. Meaning, I like to use Securtiy Group on
a File Server to apply permissions to folders.
Furthermore, I like to use Distribution Groups for
puroposes of sending e-mail. Remember, I could just as
easily mail-enable a Security Group.
HTH,
