You can do it as a Group Policy Preference or you can use a Restricted
Group to add the user account.

I was under the impression that the "Restricted Group" will overwrite
whatever your local settings are, is that false?

Hi Daniel-

There's two sides to restricted groups--one is exclusive and the other is not. If you search the gptalk archives, there's a few references to this that were posted recently.

Bottom line:

Preferences can be configured to just add the new user or to add and delete all previous members

Restricted groups will indeed push all members as defined in the GPO

Not completely the case. With restricted groups using the "Members" side, you can push one more members into an existing group without modifying other members. GP Preferences does provide more flexibility but it depends upon what you need.

Darren,



Are you sure? I think it's "restricted" groups meaning what you configure by GPO is enforced.

Here is a screenshot of a restricted group creation:



[cid:image001.png@01CB4860.ED0D8E60]



I'm pretty sure this will ensure "test" will only contain "member1". Of course some built-in memberships like administrator - administrators will not be harmed.



Regards,

Thomas

My understanding is that using option 1 will overwrite everything in the local targeted group will be removed and the accounts listed added. Whilst using option 2 will add the desired accounts to the targeted group without removing what is already there.

That's correct Peter. "Members" controls a group's membership exclusively while "Members Of" Allows you to selectively add members to an existing group.

Darren,



Are you sure? I think it's "restricted" groups meaning what you configure by GPO is enforced.

Here is a screenshot of a restricted group creation:



[cid:image003.png@01CB481F.5C8D9600]



I'm pretty sure this will ensure "test" will only contain "member1". Of course some built-in memberships like administrator - administrators will not be harmed.

Thomas

Not completely the case. With restricted groups using the "Members" side,

you can push one more members into an existing group without modifying other

members. GP Preferences does provide more flexibility but it depends upon

what you need.

Bottom line:



Preferences can be configured to just add the new user or to add and delete

all previous members



Restricted groups will indeed push all members as defined in the GPO

Hi Daniel-



There's two sides to restricted groups--one is exclusive and the other is

not. If you search the gptalk archives, there's a few references to this

that were posted recently.

It's a common misunderstanding. Yes, Darren is correct. Please search the GPTALK archives. This issue has been discussed multiple times lately.

Restricted Groups Settings

=====================

This 'Members' policy adds the user named 'JohnEEE' from domain 'dom' and makes sure that it is the only member of the local Administrators group.



Computer Configuration (Enabled)

Windows Settings

Security Settings

Restricted Groups

Group Members Member of

BUILTIN\Administrators dom\JohnEEE



Note: When/if you stop applying this 'Members' policy, then the member named 'dom/JohnEEE' will be retained in the local Administrators security group.



=====================



This 'Members Of' policy adds the group named 'Group1' from domain 'dom' and makes sure that it is added to the members of the local Administrators group (nice because it 'adds' to the list).



Computer Configuration (Enabled)

Windows Settings

Security Settings

Restricted Groups

Group Members Member of

dom\Group1 BUILTIN\Administrators



Note: When/if you stop applying this 'Member Of' policy, then the group named 'dom/Group1' will be cleanly removed from the local Administrators security group (leaving the other members intact).



Every sixteen hours (by default), the Security policies wake up and reapply these 'Security' settings mandatorily.



Group Policy Preferences

====================

Using GPP, you can explicitly Add or Remove specific groups or accounts from any local group. Using the check boxes, you can also 'Delete all member users' and/or 'Delete all member groups'. These last two settings allow you simulate 'restrictedness'. However, the 'true' Policy side settings for Restricted Groups would override these settings. Additionally, there would be various timing inconsistencies between using multiple methods.



Summary

=======

You should use only one method of controlling memberships.

Another nice feature of GPP over restricted groups is that of dynamic
evaluation. GPP arte processed and evaluated client side allowing you to use
environment variable expansion whereas restricted groups rely on SIDS
hardcoded in the GPO template.



I use GPP local groups for this very reason extensively.
