I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the PermittedGroups feature to work using 4.0.0-2200. I've successfully used this feature in previous versions, can't remember which. I'm constantly getting the error message that I can't run the package even though I'm part of the permitted groups. Steps I did:

  1. Created project folder
  2. edited package.ini to include required group
  3. created required group in AD
  4. added myself to the group in AD
  5. forced replication in sites and services mmc and did gpupdate /force on all DCs
  6. gpupdate /force on my local workstation
  7. build app
  8. gpupdate /force on my local workstation again just to be sure
  9. run app
  10. get access denied message

has anyone else gotten this to work using this build? am i missing something here?

also, just to be sure the build process was reading the AD group correctly, i changed the name of the AD group to one that doesn't exist, and it gave me an error message right off the bat. changing the group name back to the one i created allowed the build process to happen.

I've used this several times without issue. The workstation must be a domain memeber and you must be logged into the domain when you build so that we can grab the SID of the group. Did you try flushing the SB?
