SYMPTOMS
When you use a group within a group on Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks, the nested group may not be properly deleted from a downstream server, when the original group is deleted and a new group is created on the originating server.



CAUSE
When the nested group is deleted from the originating server (the one that first created both groups) and a new group is immediately added, the information propagated to the downstream servers does not contain the updated group information.



RESOLUTION
To refresh the group information on the downstream servers, go to the originating server, sign in as Network Administrator and follow these steps:


 * 1) From the Mail menu, choose Server Users/Groups.
 * 2) Select the group button.
 * 3) Select Modify Group, then select the group name.
 * 4) Click the Address button, and add a user to the group. Click the Close button.
 * 5) Click Modify, and wait for the change to appear on the downstream server.
 * 6) Redo steps 4 and 5, only remove the user you just added.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.1d of Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
