• By using COM+ partition sets, you can associate multiple users or organizational units with a COM+ partition set at one time instead of having to map multiple user identities or organizational units. A COM+ partition set is available to users or organizational units that are mapped to it.
• When creating a new COM+ partition set, a partition ID is automatically generated and displayed under Partition Set ID in the Properties dialog box. If you want to specify a different GUID for the new COM+ partition set, delete the existing partition ID and type a new one.
