It seems that despite being called the util:User element that it was 
actually able to locate an ActiveDirectory Group.  I just left many of the 
attributes blank and told it to not create or update the user.


I don't have the C++ chops to extend these but there is another thread 
about creating interfaces for DTF classes to enable unit test mocking.  I'd 
be willing to contribute that if you would like.

That's all that is supported today. It would be fantastic if you wanted to 
contribute the code to do more.

I work in an enterprise environment and I have a request to add an Active

element only allows util::User as a parent and not util::Group as a 
parent.

 I'd like  to be able to run this MSI through SCCM and pass Domain/Name in

as secure custom properties and use them as formatted attributes in the

Group Element.


Does anyone know why this is?  I'm sure I can write a DTF custom action 
but

I'm trying not to.
