The "MACHINENAME\GroupName" syntax doesn't even work for me on the local
machine when logged on with a domain account (the scenario that supposedly
works for OP), which is why I thought the named machine might not be the
local machine. It might actually be a domain name rather than a machine
name, but only OP knows for sure...
