Directory Server - How to add a Group from my Active Directory Server

When you search for users to add, you can also type in group names. The group will be expanded for you and its members added to Directory Server.

If you want to make sure that any users added to the group after that are also getting licenses, you can set up a synchronization rule under Identity Providers in Settings.

That's correct, AD Sync rules are not migrated.

It appears the ability to browse for AD groups has been removed recently from the Identity Providers screen after version 10 of Rio.

This should not be the case, and I cannot reproduce the behavior you described. In Directory Server 10, you should be able to search for groups when adding users manually and when configuring AD group synchronization.

Note that the search is a "Starts with" search, so if you have a group called, for example, "LF License Group", searching for "License" would not return the group. If you need to do a "contains" search, you can add a * wildcard to the beginning, like "*License".

The other likely issue you might be encountering is running the search as a user that does not have rights to see that group. The searches run as either (1) the currently authenticated windows user or (2) the credentials you enter after being prompted if you cannot be automatically authenticated.
