- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You may experience some time delay when using
-
- net localgroup <local group name> <user or global group name> /add
-
- to add a user or global group to a local group if the user or global
- group is not present on the local machine, but instead resides in a
- domain that is trusted directly or indirectly by the local machine. In
- the case of a Windows NT system that belongs to a domain, the user or
- global group may belong to that domain or one of its trusted domains.
- With Windows NT Advanced Server (the primary or backup controller of a
- domain), the user or global group may belong to one of the domains
- trusted by that domain.
-
- To minimize such a delay, specify the fully qualified name of the user
- or global group (<DomainName>\<UserName> for example) as opposed to
- the unqualified form, <UserName>.
-
- The time delay occurs because the security identification (SID) of the
- user or global group has to be found. This operation in turn requires
- the computer name for an active primary or backup domain controller
- for the user's domain to be found, a process known as discovery of the
- domain controller. The discovery process can vary in the time it takes
- to complete, depending upon whether a cached computer name is
- available for the specified domain.
