Create a user that you can use as a template. Add that user to the required groups. When you need to add someone new select this template user and then select copy. All fields and attributes will be the same. We use this for groups, logon bat file, and user drive. We just keep the template user deactivated and named so that it appears at the top of the ad list, so that it is easy to find. -----Original Message----- From: geek geek [mailto:thin_computing@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 1:54 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Pre-defined list of groups for new users Hello, Is there any way that when I add a user to AD, that the user will become a member to a list of pre-defined groups? We have three groups that EVERY user needs to be added to. I would like it so that when the user is created, that user will automatically be added to the three groups. Domain is Windows 2000 SP3 TIA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
