Need Help Auto Populating a Security Group

[Guest Enrique]

For a new application I was asked to create a new Security Group that does

not include any Administrators (because we would show up twice and could

cause problems). I would like for this Security Group to auto-populate with

users so that when a new user is added to the network, they do not have to

be manually added to this Security Group. How can I do this?

Additional Info:

By default, everyone is added to the Domain Users group.

You could make the group "Domain Users" a member of your new security group

if the intention is for everyone to be included. There is no provision to

auto populate a group, but by default all new users are members of "Domain

Users".

 

Administrators are also members of "Domain Users", but even if they are

separately listed as members this is not a problem. It happens all the time.

And of course you could remove the individual administrator users from the

group.
