Profile manager and nested AD groups

[Sheridan]

Just been playing around with profile manager again, and it seems that applying settings to AD groups only works if it is a direct group membership, i.e not nested groups

 

Problem is I'd like to apply a profile to 7 year groups, which all belong to an overall 'Students' group - but profile manager shows nothing in that group - it shows the members of the individual groups though.

 

Does that mean I have to create a profile for every single group? That's a step backward from workgroup manager which seemed to deal with nested AD groups OK.

It looks like profile manager (or server 5.5) just can't read our AD groups properly. Browsing the groups list in the Server app shows some populated, but mostly not.

 

I thought I was just at the point when I could use PM but this has scuppered that - profiles aren't applied simply because its not reading the group membership consistently.
