File Share Access on a Domain Member Server

We have a Windows 2000 Server running as a domain controller. The
folder "Public" has been shared will Full Control granted in Share
Permissions for group Everyone. NTFS folder security permissions have
been set to "Modify" for the group <domain>\Users. Specific user
access or deny is set at the subfolder level. All network users login
as domain users and access to this folder structure has been working
fine for years.

I recently added a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 server to the network as
a domain member server (not running AD or any other FSMO). The new
server is shown in the computer list in AD on the domain controller.
I want to create a shared folder on the new server and move files to
it for general network access. I created the folder, set sharing
permission to Full Control for group Everyone and then went to set
NTFS security permissions. However, I can not get to the point of
being able to specify group <domain>\Users. When I get to the point
to Select Users, Computers, or Groups and select the domain in
Locations, enter the domain administrator credentials, and then enter
"users" in the Enter the object names to select dialog, I am presented
with an error message: Name not found. This same folder security
setting procedure works on the domain controller for folders located
on it. Why does it not work on the member server? Help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try that on Thursday when I'm back at the machine.
