AzMan group (2)

Unfortunately the approach I described in the previous post does not really works. The problem is that the AzMan.msc breaks if I do that. Probably it expects the groupType to be exactly 16 or 32 rather than what would be correct behaviour: apply a bitmap.

AzMan groups

AzMan groups ain't security groups. If you check the groupType attribute of the Basic AzMan group it will be 16 (0x00000010). Now the security groupType normally is -2147483646 (0x80000002). This article deciphers the groupType values. Thus 0x80000002 really means global group that is also a security group. So if you want your Basic AzMan group to behave like a security group you should use group type 0x80000012 which will be -2147483630 in decimal.
