Abstract: If $G$ is a centreless group, then $au(G)$ denotes the height of the automorphism tower of $G$. We prove that it is consistent that for every cardinal $lambda$ and every ordinal $alpha<lambda$, there exists a centreless group $G$ such that (a) $au(G)=alpha$; and (b) if $$ is any ordinal such that $$, then there exists a notion of forcing $P$, which preserves cofinalities and cardinalities, such that $$ in the corresponding generic extension $V^P$.
