I have installed 2, 2003 Member Servers (for printing) on a 2000
Native mode domain. They are joined to the domain.

The only groups the servers recognize are global groups. They cannot
see any of the domain local groups or the built-in groups. I have a
hunch this is a problem with the Global Catalog server but I have been
very unsuccessful in finding a solution to this problem.

Currently I am a member of the print operators group on the domain,
this is a moot point because my print servers do not recognize the
Print Operators group because it is a Domain Local/Built-in group.

I have worked around it by adding my domain account to the local
administrators group on the servers.

I do not wish to keep it this way, my servers SHOULD be seeing all the
domain local groups as well as global groups.

Can anyone help?
