Group Type

Basic Application Group

Specifies that the new application group is of the basic type. The basic type of application group is based on Windows users and groups, which might include local groups, and global or universal groups that are stored in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

LDAP Query Application Group

Specifies that the new application group is defined by a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query. LDAP queries are used to find objects in (AD DS) and other LDAP-compliant directories. For example, the query (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!cn=andy)) finds everyone except Andy. The query (memberOf=CN= StatusReports,OU=Distribution Lists,DC=northwindtraders,DC=com) finds all members of the StatusReports alias at northwindtraders.com.

Business Rule Application Group

Specifies that the new application group will be defined by a business rule. Business rules are created by writing a script in VBScript or JScript.
