Re: Add/Remove Groups

I had missed the ability to edit a DirectoryEntry and commit the changes.  I
now think I should be able to add/remove users from a group this way.

I had hoped to be able to also provide this functionality on standalone
computers not part of a domain, but at this point I am not sure that is
possible.

Thanks,
-Mont
