Thanks.
Just to clarify. The application "user" is part of the
domain administrators group and have full control of the
domain. We can log onto any server in the domain as this
user and run a simple batch file that does create the
global group in an existing Organizational Unit on the
DC. However, when this batch file is run as part of the
software application process, the global group creation
fails.

I did try and change the domain in our test environment
to native mode, but that did not change the error.

I have contacted the software vendor, they are looking
into it as well. Thanks
