Administration group

A collection of servers running Exchange 2000 that can be administered as a single unit. An administration group can include zero or more policies, routing groups, public folder trees, monitors, servers, conferencing services, and chat networks. When security settings (permissions) are applied to an administration group, all child objects in the DS tree inherit the same Access Control Lists (ACLs) as the administration group node. Note that an administration group does not define the routing topology for messages; this is handled by routing groups. [Exchange 2000]
