Create and manage groups on Windows

On Windows, we use the Computer Management feature to administer groups on a workstation or member server machine.

For domain controllers, users and groups are administered through Active Directory. For more details on using Active Directory refer to the appropriate operating system instructions.

Any changes you make to a principal's group membership are not recognized until the queue manager is restarted, or we issue the MQSC command REFRESH SECURITY (or the PCF equivalent).

Use the Windows Computer Management panel to work with user and groups. Any changes made to the current logged on user might not be effective until the user logs in again.
