• The user's primary group applies only to users who log on to the network through Services for Macintosh or to who run POSIX-compliant applications. Unless you are using these services, there is no need to change the primary group from Domain Users, which is the default value.
• Setting the user's primary group membership to a value other than Domain Users may adversely impact performance as all users in the domain are members of Domain Users. If the user's primary group is set to another group, it may cause the group membership to exceed the supported maximum number of members.
