Trouble adding a domain group to a local group

[y-aji]

Hey all,

I'm trying to add our domain admins group to the image for our local "administrator" group.

I'm going to my new windows 7 client machine and performing the following:

1. Right click my computer->hit manage
2. Goto System Tools->Local Users and Groups->Groups
3. Right click "administrators"->hit "add to group"
4. Hit "add..."-> typing"domain admins" (a group containing all our admin accounts).
5. Hit "ok", then hit "apply" on the main screen

When I add it, it labels the "domain admins" group correctly, but when I hit apply, it immediately changes from saying "DOMAIN\domain admins (S-####... etc)" to an icon w/ a question mark and just that id number. Obviously it can no longer identify the group that I have added.

Am I doing something wrong on my client-side, or is there a problem on the server side? We're running server 2003 R2.

Please let me know if there is any further information I need to apply. I went to search for this, but it's hard to find a good way to word it in a few words that google or toms hardware comes up with anything relevant.

Thanks,

Keith

Any help?

This is actually quite helpful for the next step (as I'm going to try to automate this for all machines afterwards and I was looking to figure out a way to keep them from removing themselves along with some other restrictions), but I haven't gotten that far, yet.

Currently it wont take even the first time whenever I enter it prior to creating the image. I am already joined to the domain, and can add users happily, the problem only occurs whenever I try to add groups.

Thanks so much for the link.
