SYMPTOMS
========
When you attempt to add a global group of a master accounts domain (maintains
user account information) to a local group on a resource domain (maintains
resources such as printer and file sharing), the following error message
appears:
A new member could not be added to a local group because the member does not
exist.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs when a domain controller changes the domain name in order to
create a new domain. If you change the domain name of your domain controller in
Control Panel Network, the domain security identifier (SID) information remains
the same.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem:
1. Reinstall Windows NT Server if you want to change the domain name of your
domain controller.
2. Create a trust between the master accounts domain and the resource domain.
3. Add the global group of the master accounts domain to the local group of the
resource domain.
