5. Open the Members tab and select Add.

6. In the "Enter the object names to select" field, enter: Domain COmputers

7. Select Ok.

8. Next, navigate to the Security tab.

9. Under Group or user names, select Windows Authorization Access Group, then click Advanced.

10. Highlight Windows Authorization Access Group and click Edit.

11. Ensure that the Applies To is set to 'This object and all descendant objects'.

12. Under properties, scroll down and enable 'Read Members'.'

13. Select OK on all open windows to save the changes.
