Global group permissions on W2K

[halldr]

I am running SMS 2.0 SP2 on a w2k server. Whenever I setup permissions based on global groups I receive the following error message. <br>&quot;SMS is unable to verify that the name you entered is an existing Windows NT user or User group. <br><br>This may be because the name indicates a local group, or because no such user or user group exists, or because the specified domain cannot be contacted.<br><br>&nbsp;Do you want to use this name anyway?&quot;<br><br>&nbsp;The Global groups do exists (I am choosing them from a brows list) and they are not using long names. If I choose yes the group is added but it does not work. Also when I try and add a second group the browse list is blank. A site reset will fix the browse list as long as I do not add a group. I am able to add individual users. I am having this problem in two different sites (lab and pilot). In the lab SMS is installed on a w2k member server it is installed on a w2k DC in the pilot. <br>
