I'm running 2000 Pro on the desktop in a mixed mode AD
environment. When I add a domain account to a local
group, the domain account's SID is listed in the group
members box instead of the account name.

Anyone know what I might do to correct?
 
Could be a connectivity or dns configuration issue with the domain
controller. Make sure that only the domain controller is listed as the
preferred dns server for that desktop in it's tcp/ip configuration. I would
also run netdiag on the desktop looking for failed tests/error/warnings
particularly related to dclist, domain membership, and dns. Netdiag is on
the install disk in the support/tools folder where you will have to run
setup. Dcdiag is also there which is good for testing the domain controller
configuration. --- Steve
