Establishing Group Naming Standards

As with all objects in AD DS, a group should be easily identifiable so that there is less ambiguity for both end users and administrators. Consequently, it is important to establish some form of naming convention for all groups to have and to communicate those naming conventions to the administrators who will create those groups. Using such conventions will help to alleviate headaches involved with determining what a certain group is used for, who owns it, and similar issues.
