SYMPTOMS
When you try to add a group to a Group Policy object (GPO) that defines restricted groups, only the local domain appears in the locations list. You expect to see other trusted domains when you follow these steps:
 * 1) Right-click Restricted Groups, and then click Add Group.
 * 2) Click Browse, and then click Locations.

However, the whole directory appears instead of only the local domain objects if you follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Restricted Groups, right-click inside the right pane, and then click Add Group.
 * 2) Click Browse, and then click Locations.

This problem occurs when you use the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack to administer a GPO from a Windows XP-based computer.
