I've inherited a windows 2003 AD which is playing up. When you create a Dist
Group, either Global or Universal, it changes automatically to a security
group all by itself. How is this happening?
Not sure if it's related but the the reason I found this was because Outlook
is not recognising Delegate permissions on these groups. ie if you set read
permission to a user, it works fine. If you set permissions to a group that
a user is in, it doesn't work. Error is 'Calendar can't be found'.

Any help appreciated.
Also which are the best NGs for AD and Exchange related stuff?

Make sure AD is in native mode (unless you still have NT domain controllers
lurking around)

Sounds like you're still in mixed mode.

Thanks,

It appears that the domain has been through a few upgrades (I see Exch 5.5
and NT remnants in there), and is currently a 2003 AD (w Exch2003) but has
2000 DCs and is running at 2000 functional level.

My plan is to upgrade everything to native 2003 or hopefully start again
fresh with a sparkley new 2003 environment.
