What is the best way to merge the members of one group into another group?
They will be mainly global-distribution groups.

thanks

If you are in Native mode the simple solution
is to "nest groups". Create a third groud to hold
them both.

If these two groups are from the same domain (as
one would guess since you are planning to 'merge'
or combine members) then you can nest both
global groups in another global or a universal.

If they are from different domains you will likely
use a universal -- or domain local if the purpose
of the final group is to assign privileges.
 
Nesting the groups is not an option. I wish it was.

I was hoping a tool existed like the AD Cleanup Wizard or simple
command-line tool that could be used to merge one group into another group.
