Dude, Groups and their uses are fundamental to security in AD. If you do not
understand their various uses and differences at least on a basic level, you
have more learning to do.

Dear Dude,
While I appreciate your words of encouragement and advice, this is not a
useful answer. I have half a dozen thick books on AD in my library,
including the official "Microsoft" books. I have spent much time in Barnes
and Nobles etc. browsing additional books. I have read every section in
each book that I have, that might have shed light on this subject. And
needless to say, I have googled till my finers are blue.
In general, I have a pretty decent understanding of AD, and have been
working with AD etc. for some years. No one is an expert on all things, and
I was seeking help on a particular aspect of AD. The question I posted was
not a generic "help me with AD", it was a pretty specific question.
If you have a specific book or suggestion in mind I would appreciate it. If
you do not have a specific suggestion, then simply saying "go read a lot of
books dude" is not helpful. I suggest you do some reading of your own so
you get to understand what I was asking about (it was not a question on AD).
You may learn something too.
best regards
Mike

Subject: [ExchangeList] understanding distribution groups
Hi all,
I am trying to get an understanding of Exchange distribution groups. While
I understand these in a cursory way, I just do not seem to be able to find a
satisfactry answer to these questions:
a) What is the difference between Domain Local, Global, and Universal
distribution groups? When would I use each type? When would I *NOT* use
each type?
b) What is the difference between a "Security" group and a "Distribution"
group exactly? What does one do that the other does not? When would I use
one versus the other?
(the one thing I do understand is query based distribution groups, and there
seems to be plenty of documentation around on that topics).
Everywhere I have looked, it seems that there is a broad assumption that
everyone knows what these are. It is almost as if the differences between
these are arbitrary and you can use any of the above in any situation.
Surely that is not true, so I am trying to get a clearer understanding of
these concepts.
Any assistance or links to tutorials on this topic would be greatly
appreciated.
Mike
