SYMPTOMS
When you use the NET LOCALGROUP command to add or delete a local account to
or from a local group on a Windows NT domain controller, the following
error message appears:
The command syntax is as follows: net localgroup <local group> <local account> /<ADD or DELETE> CAUSEWhen you use the NET LOCALGROUP command, the domain controller looks for accounts with the USER_NORMAL_ACCOUNT flag. Local accounts on a domain controller have the USER_TEMP_DUPLICATE_ACCOUNT flag. RESOLUTIONTo work around this problem, use User Manager for Domains to add or delete local accounts to local groups. Note that the local group and account must exists prior to using the [ASCII 147]net localgroup <local group> <local account> /<ADD[ASCII 148] command or the error above will be encountered. It is not necessary to delete user accounts from local groups when using using the /delete option STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and
Server versions 3.51 and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. Additional query words: prodnt acct grp security
