Creating an Association Object
The Association Object is derived from a Group and must contain a group
Type. The Association Scope specifies the Security Group Type for the
Association Object. When you create an Association Object, you must choose
the Association Scope that applies to the type of objects you intend to add.
Selecting Universal, for example, means that Association Objects are only
available when the Active Directory Domain is functioning in Native Mode
or above.
