Restricted Groups work for non builtin groups?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have been trying to use the Restricted groups functionality of GPOs to
create my own local group and add specific users to it. In the same policy
object, I also have another restricted group specified that happens to be a
builtin group (Remote Desktop Users in this case). The restricted group
policy for Remote Desktop users works as expected, but the other "custom"
group never gets created.

I know the policy is getting applied to this machine (server 2003 R2 member
server) because the remote desktop users group is correctly editted.

I havent seen anything anywhere that talks about whether Restricted Groups
only works for builtins, or should apply to user created groups.

Should it work for user created groups?

Thanks for any info,

Joe
