I'm running a small network of ten PC's (XP SP1 & SP2) on a network from a SBS 2003 server.

I'm trying to change some security authoritise for files/folders on the PC's. On the 'Select Users or Groups' screen the location shown is the local PC. Pressing the location button also shows only the local computer.

I want to be able to select users from the local domain. So how do I add a location to select from.
