ZTIGroups.wsf

This script captures and restores the local group membership on the target computer. This script is called with the /capture argument to back up the group membership from the target computer before deploying the operating system. The CaptureGroups property contains the list of groups that script backs up. The script is called with the /restore argument to restore the group membership after the operating system is deployed. When performing a restore operation, it restores the membership of all groups that were backed up when the script was run using the /capture argument.

Note When restoring group membership, the script does not create any destination groups that do not already exist on the target computer. Therefore, be sure to include all required groups in the reference computer when building the image file.
