ADSI Group Object represents a list, which can be persistently stored, of Active Directory member objects in the underlying directory service. Some directory implementations allow only users to be members of a group; others allow users, groups, and organizational units (departments) to be group members.
An ADSI Group Object hosts an ADSI Members Object and supports methods to add and remove member references from its collection.
Use an ADSI Collection Object when you are managing a collection of VARIANT items (for example, a list of numbers or a list of active print jobs). Use an ADSI Members Object when you are managing a collection of ADSI Objects references.
