can't add global distribution to share

I am running windows 2003 R2. I addedd a global distribution group and added
members to that group. When I try to add that global distribution to the
security share, it won't let me. It seems like it can;t find the distribution
group, but when i search within active directory, it finds it fine. I created
another global distribution and added another share, same problem. Any info
would be appreciated.

Hi joe,

You have to make it a global security group. Distribution groups cannot be
listed in discretionary access control lists (DACLs) used to define
permissions on resources and objects.

Have a nice day!
