Share folders in a Win2003 server don't show domain users

Dear Sirs,

I have two Win2003 Server Enterprise Edition in my
LAN, "server1" ands "server2". Server1 has Active
Directory set up and is the only domain controller.
Server2 is a member of the same domain and acts as a file
server. From server2 I allways log into the domain as the
domain admin, the administrator account.
Well, when I try to share a server2 folder with the domain
users and want to select users or groups, I only get the
list of local objects, but nothing from the domain becomes
visible. So, I can't share it.
Note: Despite of this, from server2 I am able to browse
the entire network and access the shares from other
computers of the domain.
Is there a policy feature in 2003 servers that restricts
this behaviour? What is the problem?
Can you help me with this?
Thank you in advance.

The Administrator group on server 2 is probably a domain local group.
Create a user account that is a member of Domain Admins and log on with that
account.

I must have been daydreaming, sorry.

The builtin group Administrators is NOT a domain local.
It is truly local.
Created a user who is a member of Domain Admins and logon as that user.
