Ack, you know I wrote that very late last night :-p You are of course correct that Power Users group is not a domain group. Wasn't aware that it was there in NT4 though - probably 'cos when I used to use NT4, it was on a small domain in which all servers were P/BDCs. Which don't have a power users group... /D ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
