I get the above mentioned error when I try to add a user.
By trying
sudo useradd -u 1200 -g test -c 'studente' student
or
sudo useradd anyuser
I get
useradd: group '100' does not exist
useradd: the GROUP= configuration in /etc/default/useradd will be ignored
Content of /etc/default/useradd is
# useradd defaults file
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/bash
SKEL=/etc/skel
CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=yes
I must have messed up somewhere by creating, modifying and deleting users and groups but I don’t know where.

Hi @fkutev22,
It seems like you’ve removed the necessary group. Having said that without providing the necessary Operating System - Ubuntu, Centos, Fedora etc.
Most probably it’s
groupadd -g 100
users but before you do that trygrep :100: /etc/group
