FrontPage Extensions 2002 - Adding a Group

[InShadows]

I just installed FrontPage Extensions 2002 on a Windows 2000 Server machine. I have created a subweb under the main website. I am now trying to add a group to author the pages within that subweb. When I go to the Add a User page, I click on Add user or group name (For example, DOMAIN\name):. I then enter the groupname preceded by the computer name. I then click on Advanced author and then proceed to click on Add User. An error then appears stating, "The group "Domain\Groupname" cannot be added to the role(s) 'advauthor' since Windows does not allow local groups to be nested."

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I tried adding an individual user and that worked fine. I just cannot add groups properly.

I got the same Problem and i Dont got the Option to create Domain Groups, is there another chance to nest a Local Group in a Local Group?


If you got the option create some Domain Groups instead of the Local Groups.

And since advauthor is a local group, you add the users to it, not to another group and then add that group to advauthor. You can add a global group to the local group, but not another local group to it.

This sounds good, but the advauthor group is only at IIS admin web, I can't add users to it at Computer Management. The point is to handle users in one place, at the Computer Management.
