4. After naming the group, you have to select the group scope and group
type option, The Group Scope section refers to how widely the group is
populated throughout a domain:
Domain local groups exist only within a single domain and can
contain members only from that domain.
Global groups can contain members only from the domain in which
they exist.
Universal groups exist throughout an organization, even when the
organization’s network is made up of many individual domains.
After you set the group’s scope, you can also select whether it will be
a security group or a distribution group.
5. Finally, click OK to create the group. Now you can add members to the
group.
Maintaining Group Membership (Adding Members to the group)
A new group starts out without any members. To set the membership for
a group, follow these steps:
1. Click on Start > Administrative tools > Active directory users and
computers console.
2. Select the group and open its Properties dialog box (by right-clicking it
and choosing Properties from the pop-up menu). Then click the
Members tab, as shown in Figure.

or Groups dialog box, as shown in Figure.

click the Check Names button. If you type in too few characters to
uniquely identify the user or group, Windows will show you a list of
the possible matches from which you can select the correct one.
5. Choose the member you want to add, and then click OK.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to complete the group membership.
