SYMPTOMS
========

The security identifier (SID) cannot be resolved as expected for a global group
name in access control lists (ACLs) on a Windows 2000-based member of a Windows
NT 4.0-based domain.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior occurs because the global group name is the same as the domain
name.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, copy the group to a different name and delete the
original group.
