I just checked, and all other users who show up correctly in the new group are indeed not logged on to the domain. Could it be that an active session locks the group memberships until the user logs out and in again?

I had already forgot about this. Added a group on the DC, added two members to that group and at least on of those are logged on to the domain. The group doesn't show up on a member-server. I will probably have to wait until tomorrow before I'm able to use that group? Are there plans to fix this so one can add groups and edit group memberships faster? -- Harald Hannelius | harald.hannelius/a\arcada.fi | +358 50 594 1020
