SYMPTOMS
========

When adding class and instance security rights through the Systems Management
Server "Systems Management Server User Wizard" it is not possible to browse
local groups or the users or groups of trusted domains. However, it is possible
to add local groups by manually entering the group and user name using the
following syntax which is documented with a yellow triangle warning indicator in
the Systems Management Server User Wizard:

"Use DOMAIN\<user group> to specify a local user group for this site."

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 2.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for
Systems Management Server version 2.0. For information on obtaining the service
