SYMPTOMS
Within the Software Metering tool:
 * 1) Resource manager imports group names with lowercase extended characters if the import is completed shortly after site installation.
 * 2) Group permissions do not function when the accounts are in the system with lowercase extended characters.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, you should take these precautions:
 * Enter groups manually, all converted to uppercase.
 * Wait 4 hours before importing resources.
 * Create custom groups with all uppercase names, no extended characters in each domain.
 * Do not create the same group name in any two domains.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
