*** All,I am studying for my MCSE. I am trying to make sure I grasp the latest chapter I am regarding groups and the explanation about domains. I do apologize if these are stupid questions bout i would appreciate any feed back that you can provide.Domain Local, Universal, and Global Groups.This is what i understand a domain to be.A domain is basically a group of computer that is managed through active director and a forest is a group of domains and a tree is a group of forest.A Global Group is a security or distribution group that can be used inside any domain within the forest.A Universal Group is a security or Distribution is the same thing it sounds like so that is where I am having trouble.A Domain Local is a security or distribution group that can only be used within its domain.I understand what a security group and a distribution group is. Security group basically gives a user rights to do stuff on the network and u need global or universal group if that user wanted to lets say write a file to the N drive that happens to be in another office which was in the same forest but in a different domain. Distribution just has to do with a users email I take it. Is this a pretty good understanding of what is going on if now i would appreciate any kind of help to better get a grasp on this stuff.
