1. You can have multiple AD security  groups in a sharepoint  site group 2.
SharePoint site Security is a function of WSS, so they are identical 3. My
personal opinion is AD groups  nested in SharePoint groups, when possible, is a
best practice. This also allows you to target audiences in Shared Services using
these groups. good luck. Ben Curry MindSharp --- On Mon 01/08,

-0000Subject: [sharepointdiscussions] Nesting of Windows Security Groups within
SharePoint Groups: WSS 3.0 / MOSS2007

In Microsoft's WSS 3.0 elearning course 59995, they say:SharePoint groups can be
made up of many individual users, they can holda single a Windows security
group, or they can be some combination ofthe two. (my emphasis)There's a typo in
there (and extra 'a'), but it still seems as if theyare trying to say that you
can only next ONE Windows Security Groupinside a SharePoint Group. I just tried
nesting two Windows Securitygroups within a SharePoint Group using MOSS2007, and
it seems to workfine on a portal site.1. Can you nest multiple Windows groups
inside a SharePoint Group inMOSS2007 but not in WSS 3.0?2. Is the behaviour
different in MOSS2007 than in WSS 3.0?3. I'm planning on nesting Windows
Security Groups within SharePointGroups in MOSS2007 and granting all permissions
to the SharePointGroups. Are there any 'gotcha's to watch out
for?

How do you add AD security  groups in SharePoint (WSS v2)?

You simply add the active directory (AD) security  group to a SharePoint group.
e.g. domain\username. be aware that you will have issues with WSS V2 and active
directory groups, such as the inabiity to add tasks to specific members of an
Active Directory group.

Is this also the case with WSS v3?

It is not. WSS V3, and therefore SharePoint Server 2007, has the ability to use
the inidividuals in an AD group in lists such as Tasks. You might have to change
the view to 'all users' however, but it should work fine.

One more reason to speed our adoption of 2007.
