Local Groups

I have a number of pre-existing local groups on my Win2k3 box and I
want to use them for authentication via IIS. The problem is, I can't
add those groups to a site because IIS wants to create it's own local
group and therefore won't allow nesting of MY existing group. How can
I get IIS to NOT create groups and accept those that I assign instead?

Thanks!

As far as I know IIS doesn't create any groups (except IIS_WPG group). What
groups are you talking about?

Cheers
