the win\_group module looks like it only lets you create or remove a group, and win\_user is for add/modify/removing local users. Is there a way to add an active directory group as a member of a local group that I am not seeing?

Thanks

Not currently- a set of AD management modules are on the roadmap for 2.3, and adding a group\_members capability to win\_group would probably be the sanest way to deal with that particular request…

Thanks, those would be handy.
