Create the primary group for all UNIX user accounts

Steps

  1. On the Domain Controller, navigate to Start > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.
  2. Navigate to the Organization Unit (OU) that will contain the group, then select Action > New > Group.
  3. Under Group Scope, select Global.
  4. Under Group type, select Security.
  5. Click OK.

  6. Right-click the new group and select Properties.
  7. On the UNIX Attributes tab, select the NIS Domain from the drop-down menu and accept the default Group ID (GID), then click OK.
    Note: If the GID is not 10000, there is already a UNIX-enabled group in the directory. The GID must be unique and match the GID of the UNIX Group.
