SUMMARY
In Microsoft Windows 2000 you can add all members of an organizational unit by right-clicking an organizational unit, and then using the Add Members to Group Selection feature. This feature, however, is not present in Windows Server 2003. Instead, Windows Server 2003 has several new administration tool improvements that enable users to manage group membership more effectively.



MORE INFORMATION
Some of the following new administration tool improvements are:
 * The Multi Select feature:

You can select multiple users by using common Windows select commands, for example, Control Select, Shift Select, and Control End. When you have selected the multiple users, right-click the selected users. The Context menu that is displayed has an Add to Group option.
 * The Saved Queries feature:

You can use this feature to select all users in an organizational unit. In the Active Directory Users and Computer section, create a new query to display all users in a specific organizational unit, and then use the Multi Select feature to add the results to a group.
