SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to add a global group of a master accounts domain (maintains user account information) to a local group on a resource domain (maintains resources such as printer and file sharing), the following error message appears:

A new member could not be added to a local group because the member does not exist.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when a domain controller changes the domain name in order to create a new domain. If you change the domain name of your domain controller in Control Panel Network, the domain security identifier (SID) information remains the same.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:


 * 1) Reinstall Windows NT Server if you want to change the domain name of your domain controller.
 * 2) Create a trust between the master accounts domain and the resource domain.
 * 3) Add the global group of the master accounts domain to the local group of the resource domain.
