Well, I just realized that I can control User Groups from
the server for each individual machine. Wow! That solves
the problem of trying to add Global Groups to Local
Groups on machines.

However, I don't quite follow on the autheticated
computer part. Where can I tell if the computers are
being authenticated onto the domain. I'll try and look
around a little more, but I dont see anything thus far.
Thanks for your help Herb.
