How to Configure localgroup into Group Policy

Hi there:

I know that you can use restricted groups in group policy to assign domain
groups to be members of the localgroup on computers in the domain. When the
restricted group dialogue boxes prompt me I can't figure out how to include
"localgroup" in there. It appears that it only allows me to select groups
from the domain only.

Any help would be great!

I would settle for using the "c> net localgroup administrators "dom\vir
users" /add" command but it doesn't like groups that have a space in the name
eventhough I have quotes around it.

Please help.

Thanks,
Charles

This is excellent! Thanks much Florian! I wish the dialogue boxes would
distinguish local groups from domain groups. But I guess if it doesn't have
a domain name in front of it assumes that its local.

Thanks again!
