This article was previously published under Q217167



SYMPTOMS
When you use the Permissions dialog box in FrontPage to add new groups, and you manually type the group name in the Add names: box, the following error occurs:

The name SERVERNAME\groupname is not a valid user or group



CAUSE
The error occurs because adding groups manually in this dialog box is case sensitive. This error only occurs when you add System or built-in groups. New local groups that you create do not experience this problem.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, add the groups with the appropriate case or choose the group from the Names: box.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.
