Creating a New Global Group Account

You can add a new global group to a machine running Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server that is set up as the domain controller. The New Global Group option is unavailable when Low Speed Connection is selected or when you administer a computer running Windows 2000 Professional or a Windows 2000 Server that is not a domain controller.

Note   You must have domain administrator privileges to create a global group.
