SYMPTOMS
Groups objects are exported to the Netscape connected directory. When there is a search for one of the exported groups, the search fails. However, there are no errors returned in the Zscript.log file on the Microsoft Metadirectory Services (MMS) server.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because GroupOfNames is a valid object class, but GroupOfUniqueNames is the correct object class for groups in Netscape 4.1. Because GroupOfNames is not the correct object class for groups in Netscape 4.1, the objects are not considered a group and the search for group objects does not render that group.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, change this object class value for new accounts:


 * 1) Right-click Netscape MA and select Action.
 * 2) Select Configure MA.
 * 3) Click the New Accounts tab.
 * 4) In the Create Netscape groups using box, change GroupOfNames to GroupOfUniqueNames.



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