       I am a little unclear about your situation, but bottom line is no you
can not put a computer in a group and expect all the users on that computer
to have access to a share. The user must be a member of a group that has
permissions [both share and ntfs if both exist] to that share/folder and not
be have deny permissions applied as a user or through group membership. You
can however create a domain account for a user that is the same log
on/password as their local computer account and generally that user should
still be able to access domain resources. --- Steve
