Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Daniel Patrick Sullivan <>]

Hi, Grouper Users,

I have a question about the structure of how groups can be written to
a Microsoft Active Directory domain using grouper.  I am trying to
create a group in grouper, and make other groups members of that group
(which I believe I have done correctly), however, when I write the
parent group to to Active Directory, it appears that the membership of
the child groups are being evaluated and flattened out into a single
group with members of all child groups defined in the parent.   I
would like the hierarchical structure defined in grouper to be
maintained in-tact in the target AD.  Is this possible?  Is the
flattening of the parent group in the target what I should expect to
see as normal behavior?  I have taken some screenshots of the behavior
that I described:

Thank-you so much for your input.

Sincerely,
