SQL2005 security groups

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



SQL 2005 setup creates a number of security groups on local server if
installing on member server or in AD if installing on domain conroller. Can
I specify the names of those groups or am I stuck with default names as they
are?
Can I force more SQL installations (on member servers or on domain
controllers) to use one set of domain groups for all instances instead of
having a different set of group for every instance?
It's not a nice picture when you see so many groups in AD when you have 10
domain controllers all running SQL2005 (not a recomended configuration, I
know, but there is no other way at the moment..)
