Symantec Encryption Management Server - Domain Users for Matched Consumers

    Hello,

    Is it possible to use Domain Users for consumer group membership?

    When I add users to a standard security group they will be quickly used for a consumer group but if I use Domain Users for group membership users do not seem to be added to the Matched Consumers section of the consumer group.

    Cheers,

    Cameron

    I tested this a while back, and found that Domain Users does not work for group matching.  Since it is used as the basic filter for enrollment, it would be the same as using the Everyone group.  Since it is already in use for matching valid/invalid users, it is not able to be used for matching to a group.

    If there are multiple domains, this would prevent one from setting up different policies based on domain and matching to Domain Users for each.  Other than that, the Everyone group should be used if you wanted a policy for all Domain Users.
