Ken,
        User's and groups are specific to the server they are sitting on.
Basically a user account on server a is not the same as a user account on
server b, they are both seperate entities with their own unique ID
structures. The FP client has always been kept at arms length from the NT
SAM, giving it just enough abilities to alter the ACLs on the files to what
they need to be and to add permissions for existing NT SAM accounts, but MS
has always tried to limit it's ability to create accounts. Part of this is
to give admins more control since an administrator of a web could end up
creating accounts like crazy and clogging up the NT SAM and ruining the
authentication time of the server since NT SAM polling can be a taxing
operation.

        Without using the migration tool there isn't much you can do as
permissions are really the one thing FP doesn't ever publish and can't
transfer.

        Hope this helps,
        Mark Fitzpatrick
