Registering new groups in Active Directory and in Domino Directory simultaneously
Before registering new groups, review all of the ADSync settings, especially the Notes Settings and Container Mappings.

You can register new groups in Notes at the same time you register them in the Active Directory.

For information on the fields that display while registering groups, consult your Microsoft documentation.

Complete this procedure to simultaneously register a group in Notes and in Active Directory:

1. From the MMC, right-click Users - New - Groups.

2. Complete these fields on the Notes registration window that displays:
FieldsAction
Register in Domino DirectoryClick this check box to create a Notes group to correspond to the Windows group. Deselect to create the group only in the Active Directory. When this option is selected, all other fields on this dialog box are active.
Group nameEnter a group name.

This field is active only if you select the "Register in Domino Directory" check box.

Group typeSpecifies the purpose of the group and determines the views in the Domino Directory where the group name appears:
  • Multi-purpose -- Use for a group that has multiple purposes -- for example, mail and ACLs. This is the default.
  • Access Control List only -- Use for server and database access authentication only.
  • Mail only -- Use for mailing list groups.
  • Deny List only -- Use to control access to servers. Deny List only is typically used to prevent terminated employees from accessing servers, but this type of group can be used to prevent any user from accessing particular servers. The Administration Process cannot delete any member of this type of group.
This field is active only if you select the "Register in Domino Directory" check box.
