If you right-click the NDS for NT Local Group object (or the NDS for NT Global Group object) and select Details, you'll bring up the properties notebook for that object type. The properties notebooks for both object types are very similar and have only two tabs—Identification and Members. Figure G shows the properties notebook for the NT Local Group object.

The NDS for NT Local Group object and NDS for NT Global Group object have similar properties.

The Identification tab displays a description of the object. You can include additional information in the Description field. If you click the Members tab, you can see which users belong to the group. You can add users by clicking Add and selecting the user or users from the list of available objects. To delete a user, highlight it and click Delete.

The NDS for NT object that a Domain object can contain is the NDS for NT Workstation object. The NDS for NT Workstation object represents workstations and servers that reside in the NT server's domain. Don't confuse this object with the regular NDS Workstation object. If you right-click the NDS for NT Workstation object and select Details, you'll see that this object is for information purposes only. You can enter a name and description, but that's it.

NDS for NT properties added to User objects
NDS for NT not only creates new objects in your NDS tree, it also extends existing User objects and adds new properties to them. Select a user in your NDS tree, right-click it, and select Details. When the User Properties notebook appears, scroll down to the bottom of the screen. You'll notice two new tabs in the notebook: Domain Access and Domain User Settings.

As the tab name suggests, the Domain Access properties window helps you manage the User's Domain group memberships, as shown in Figure H. The Group Memberships pane shows the domains and groups to which the user belongs. You can add the user to a domain or group by clicking the Add button. Then, choose the object you want the user to join. To delete a user from a group or domain, just highlight the group and click Delete.
