BES 5 does not use NT Groups any longer?

     In BES 4.1.6 I could create roles and assign NT groups (Distlists) to the roles.  If a new admin arrived, they would be added to a NT group and that was it.  As far as Blackberry administration, very few entries appearred within each role assignment.

 

     It seems that BES 5 does not allow the use of NT groups.  So now we can create Blackberry groups, but these would not tie to NT groups and require an added level of administration we did not have before.

    

     Now with BES 5, you can make the groups and assign roles to the group and put the multitude of names in the group or you can assign roles to the actual Blackberry device or add an administrative only user.

 

     Has anyone found a cleaner method to maintain the admin roles?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.
