had me thinkin there for a minute......they say the mind is the first thing
to go!! :-)
So I looked it up, Upgrade Windows NT 4.0 BDCs,
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/deployguide/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/windowsserv/2003/all/deployguide/en-us/dssbe_upnt_huxa.asp.
During the operating system upgrade the computer will restart three times.
After the computer restarts for the last time, the Welcome to the Active
Directory Installation Wizard appears.
I don't think there is any way to back out of this.
You can use admt to tranlate these groups. I think you will have to
translate then to domain local groups, but you can verify this.
