Changing a group's scope from Global to Domain Local is prohibited within Active Directory. This is because a Global group is meant to contain user accounts from its own domain and can only be assigned permissions to resources in other domains when converted to a Domain Local group. Domain Local groups, on the other hand, are specifically designed to grant access to resources throughout a domain, incorporating users from various domains.

Allowing this conversion would disrupt the organizational structure and access control delineations that Active Directory is designed to maintain. Therefore, the integrity and functionality of the group scopes must be preserved, which is why this change is not permitted.

The other conversions listed are valid under certain conditions and can be carried out to fit administrative needs within Active Directory's structure. For example, Domain Local to Global and Universal to Domain Local are permissible as they serve different roles without compromising access and control constraints. Similarly, Local to Global is valid, as it allows for a more expansive sharing of resources across the domain while aligning with group purpose and effective access management.
