Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Can't chgrp. Error - chgrp: changing group of `<file>': Invalid argument Post 302800809 by hiten.r.chauhan on Tuesday 30th of April 2013 02:29:45 PM

Let me summarize what I understood from your scenario

Users are created centrally on some AD

NFS server - chgrp works.
NFS client - chgrp doesn't works

If this is the case, I think nfsv4 is not configured in your NFS server and client.

Workaround: You can use nfs v3 in your auto.master file and then remount the partition in nfs clients.

Just use:
/net -hosts -o vers=3
