SMS: Resource Manager Does Not Use Domain Names

SUMMARY

In Systems Management Server 2.0, administrators have the ability to limit users of licensed software by adding or importing Windows NT users and groups from Windows NT domain controllers. This is a function of software metering and is done in Resource Manager. When you add a Windows NT user or group in Resource Manager, you do not specify Windows NT domains. Therefore, you cannot add a user or group with the same name from two different Windows NT domains.

Resource Manager does not distinguish between user or group names from different domains. This is by design.
