Group D strep are all bile esculin positive. Enterococci are 6.5% salt positive, and non-enterococci are 6.5% salt negative.
Most labs now use a PYR disc to rapidly ID enterococci. Group D nonenterococci are PYR negative. A bile esculin reaction differentiates these from viridans streptococci.

I had to look it up because I didn't really know. This is a fairly recent test, and has only been used in the last ten years or so. We buy the discs commercially (and they aren't cheap).
