AD and Workgroup Manager

We are running 10.7.4 and want to manage both local and domain users locally via Workgroup Mngr. Currently, after creating the group, if I add the group Member ‘ADDomain Users’ manually under the “Members” area in WGM (using the Plus sign), I save and it works, but then if I hit refresh it immediately says the group is ‘Not Found’. I have seen there are reports of this behavior but is there a fix in 10.7.4?

Next, I can create said Group (say ad_users) using dscl but don’t know how to go about scripting the addition of ‘ADDomain Users’ as ‘Members’ of this group. Wondering if anyone has anything to share.

Finally, our AD admins have requested we use a naming convention when creating computers in AD, but we don't want to use that naming convention locally. For example, the AD admins want MX#### but we want the computer (sharing, ard, etc) names to be Lab-3rdFl-##. Ideas?

Not sure how I'm gonna classify this discussion...
