The name of the group will be changed from group to group_name.

-m members
The members to be added to the group in comma-delimeted form.

-x members
The members to be removed from the group in comma-delimted form.

-a
add an automatic Security ID for the group (SID).

-s sid
set the group SID.
   The SID must be unique and defined with the domain Security ID ($SID) like sid=$SID-rid where rid is the group rid.

-r rid
set the group rid.
The SID is then calculated as sid=$SID-rid where $SID is the domain Security ID.

-t group type
set the NT Group type for the new group. Available values are 2 (domain group), 4 (local group) and 5 (builtin group). The default group type is 2.
