    Hello, 

    I am trying to convert a global security group to domain local group so I can add members across another domain.  

    However, the option is grayed out.  

    Is there another way for example using power shell? 

    Please advise.  

    Thanks.

    Hi

     You can only convert global group to a Universal (as long as it is not a member of any other global groups).check the article for details;

    So first try to convert Universal then convert domain local,give a try this :)

    Hello dear,

    To change group scope you must first choose the universal group.
