Are you doing this to give the PF rights to something else? I guess I just don't understand why that type of design. If your saying add it to a distribution list then yes, we do that here all the time. We have many "Alert-*" PFs that are a member of a dist. group that alert on different hardware and software statuses across the corp. Those groups also have personal mailboxes, pagers, ouside contacts, etc in them, never have had a problem with it. As for your side note, you are right, you have to use the backwards approach, but it accomplishes the same thing. Call it a bug, feature, whatever, but I think it has something to do with the fact the PF doesn't actually have a SID.

Also as a side note, I can only add a PF to a group from the PF "memeber of " back link. When I try to add the PF from the group as a "memeber", I can never find the folder(in either the Win2k version of ADUC or the Winxp/2k3 verison). I have selected "users,groups,computers,and other objects", but it never comes up. Is this by design or am I just retarded?
