Hi there, When you try to add rules for Audience you may choose operand of User then you may select Members of operator. Then you need to select AD groups, but I can not see some newly created groups. After creating these new groups I did start the import from AD in user profiles. Should I do something else to make them shown in that list? Thanks in advance. allan

Hi allan, If you want to import AD distribution groups or users into your SSP, you can use the following user filter to import them into your SSP. (|(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)( objectClass=Group)) Did you run full import or not? If not, try to run full import, then check the effect. After running full import, click view user profiles, make sure you can see the newly created AD groups. Finally, create a new rule, then check the effect.

Thanks Rock for your reply. As I said I DID run full import but it did not work. I did some tests and I found the reason: The group to be shown must NOT be empty. You should add some users in it, then after a while (seems couple of hours) then run import. Using either (&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)) or (|(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)( objectClass=Group)) does not affect the results, the difference is user profiles shows only single users or both users and groups. As long as the group is not empty, you'll see it later.allan
