I have users who are both members of the Domain users and All Users Group?
IS this neccessary to be members of both? Is there a security risk having
users part of the All Users group.

Thanks,
George
 
I am pretty sure that Domain Users contains All Users except the Guests. I
wouldn't think there would be a problem with Domain Users being a part of
All Users. If it were the other way around I could see there being a
problem.

Hi George,

Thanks for posting£¡

Based on my research, by default, Domain Admins is a member of the
Administrators group of all workstations and member servers. Similarly,
Domain Users is a member of the Users group of those computers. Hence, you
only need to have users in Domain Users group.
