It certainly will remove all groups that it thinks shouldn't be there... 2008/12/3 Liu, David (G2DD) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We had to delete/recreate the security group in AD 2003 environment which is used to populate local administrator membership on PC workstations. However, as a result of the deletion the security group now shows up with the deleted Security ID instead of a recognizable name. We tried to set the startup script to delete the old name, e.g. net localgroup /delete but it doesn't work because only the phantom SID exists. Inputing the string of SID in script doesn't work either. Any idea on how to remove this SID via script?
