FIX - GPP Item-level targeting based on Active Directory group membership not working

I came across a GPO change that required Item-level Targeting based on Active Directory group membership and learned a valuable lesson.

Although the Group Policy Editor allows you to type in your group name manually i.e.: MyDomain\My_Security_GroupName, this will not work when applying the GPP to a machine or user.




Instead, you must ensure that you actually click on the "..." button to browse the domain and select the group this way. This ensures that the group SID is included in the GPO and that was how I fixed this  Item-level Targeting issue.
