3.3 Domain Mode Effect Upon Feature Set

The one-way nature of Native Mode configuration requires a clear understanding of the

advantages and disadvantages of Native Mode and Mixed Mode. The following table

illustrates the major differences:

Of course, there are even more Windows 2000 features. This paper discusses BDC support,

member server support, NTLM, and Kerberos as major topics. See Appendix A for UPN

details.

3.3.1 Groups

Global and local groups are an integral component of NT4.0, and provide key functionality

for the Master-Resource domain mode that is most common. Windows 2000 adds Domain

Local groups, Universal groups, and Group Nesting.

• Domain Local Groups: Contain members from anywhere in the Windows 2000 forest,

trusted Windows 2000 forests, trusted NT4.0 domains, and grant permissions to any

resource in the local domain (NT4.0 local groups grant permissions only on the

computer where they exist)

• Universal Groups: Contain members from anywhere in the Windows 2000 forest or

trusted forests, and can be granted permissions in any domain in the forest, or

trusted forests (NT4.0 global groups contain members from the local domain only)

• Group Nesting:

o Universal Groups can contain other Universal Groups and Global Groups

from any domain

o Global Groups can contain other Global Groups from the same domain

o Domain Local Groups can contain Universal Groups, Global Groups from any

domain, Domain Local Groups from the local domain
