• QuantumMischief Sharepoint Services 3.0 and AD Security Groups?

  I am running Sharepoint Services 3.0 on a Windows 2003 R2 Server. Everything setup without issue and works without issue. I can add AD security groups to Sharepoint groups and the users get access.

Any groups that were created after the install or changes to those groups are not granted access in Sharepoint. Basically I add a presharepoint ad security group to a sharepoint group for access and it works beautifully. I create a new group, add a user to it, and add it to the sharepoint group - it adds without issue but does not grant access to the site. I even tried creating the group, adding it to the site and lettin ...Show All

But I will take this opportunity to state my views here: Regarding Mixing of Layer: S ...Show All
