You are not crazy and this does happen in Native Mode (or else I'm crazy too - a distinct possibility). There is an issue with displaying all appropriate groups in some of the "Group Picker" forms. At the site I'm at (a regional power conglomerate), all of our groups start with "DL-" or "DG-" so we can keep them straight. When trying to add a group to a member server, we were only being offered domain global,"DG-", groups in the list provided through the standard "look-in domain" GUI. Turns out that you can add a domain local group by typing the group name in manually, overriding the GUI. It's an interface issue, not a functionality problem. This is in a domain that was upgraded from NT4, if that matters.
One of my customer's staff spoke to MS (Premier Support) and was told that this is a known issue to be fixed post-SP3. Sorry, since I wasn't the person talking to MS, I don't have an article number to share. David J. Dove Principal Technology Consultant The Paloma Group, Inc.

There was one time in the past that I wasn't able to but I guess it was a fluke. I had not ever tried it since. Thank you anyway. -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A.

It has been my experience that you cannot use domain local groups on non domain controllers. Thanks Justin A.
