Abstract
Documentation:
A string the represents the name of a particular group. In Windows, group names are case-insensitive and thus case does not matter for this entity. In a domain environment, groups should be identified in the form: "domain\group name" For local groups use: "computer name\group name" For built-in accounts on the system, use the group name without a domain. For example: ADMINISTRATORS, etc. Note that the built-in group names should be all caps as that is how the windows apis return them. Of course techincally it does not matter since the names are case-insensitive. The group element can be included multiple times in a system characteristic item in order to record that a user can be a member of a number of different groups. Note that the entity_check attribute associated with EntityStateStringType guides the evaluation of entities like group that refer to items that can occur an unbounded number of times.
