SYMPTOMS
When you try to locate a domain in another forest to add a security group from that domain to the Security Group Membership list of an Advanced folder redirection policy, the other forest may not appear in the Locations dialog box. Because of this, you cannot select a security group from a domain in another forest.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the following conditions exist:
 * You are logged on by using a user account from the first forest.
 * The computer account of the computer that you are logged on, is contained in the first forest.

This symptom occurs because the Group Policy object picker component can only be used to select objects from the same forest as that which contains the computer account of the computer you are logged on to.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, type the name of the object in the Security Group Membership box of the Specify Group and Location dialog box. When you type the object name, use one of the following formats.

Format 1
\

is the NetBIOS name of the remote domain, and  is the name of the security group that you want to add.

Format 2
@

is the DNS name of the remote domain.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
