Hi All,

With help of all of you, I managed to write code to create a group in AD.

I am facing a new issue:

AD group is getting created but the group type is getting set as security.
I need to create a group but need to set Group Type as 'Distribution'.

Can any body tell me how to set that?

It's best if you create another thread for this. In any case, show your code.
