Re: Groups revisited

Bruce/Richard:

Regarding the long note on Groups (which I don't want to reprint because it's now too long) -  basically, I think you both are saying the same thing.  Bruce, I think you may have hit upon something.  Everyone is really getting down into the nitty gritty on groups and worried that there is a problem.  But, to summarize what you are saying (or what I think you are saying) is that a group is really just a list of UPN's.  All the calendar product has to do is read the list and validate the members as if they were each an independent UPN.  Correct? If so, that seems like a "well, duh..."  Am I missing something, or does this really sound like it's a non issue and simplier than everyone has been assuming.   If it is true, than implementing groups should not be as hard as we envisioned??

Also, I agree with Bruce's comment about not using the Personal NAB to authenticate UPN's.
