Yea, I need the nice number version (i.e. 512 or 9090 or whatever -- I wish I could just look in /etc/group for this). I was just researching using Win32::GetGroups to grab an array of all of the groups. Then, with a test account, iterate through the groups, setting the user's primary group each loop, and pulling the USER_PRIMARY_GROUP_ID from the user. Something akin to: 
use strict;
use Win32::AdminMisc;

my $user = "test_user";
my %hash,@groupList,$group;

Win32::AdminMisc::GetGroups( "DOMAIN", GROUP_TYPE_GLOBAL, \@groupList)
+;

#iterate through groups
foreach $group (@groupList) {

    #set the user's primary group
    Win32::AdminMisc::UserSetMiscAttributes('DOMAIN',$user,USER_PRIMAR
+Y_GROUP => $group);

    #get user's attributes
    Win32::AdminMisc::UserGetMiscAttributes('WSOM',$user,\%hash);

    #print out group RID
    print $group. " has RID " . $hash{USER_PRIMARY_GROUP_ID};
}

Unfortunately, Win32::AdminMisc::UserSetMiscAttributes('DOMAIN',$user,USER_PRIMARY_GROUP => $group) does not exist. There is no USER_PRIMARY_GROUP; there is only USER_PRIMARY_GROUP_ID. So, to set a user's primary group, you need the group's RID beforehand.

Foiled Again,
