The question is not so much one of groups as of the resulting
privileges. The groups are there to keep things organised and
are to some extent arbitrary and arbitrarily-named. For instance,
there is no account named "Administrator" in my NT4 domain, simply
because I renamed it.
The thing to do would be to find out about the NT user privileges
structure; I imagine there are a few books and several hundred
tutorials to be found on the subject. Perhaps it's even mentioned
in the win32 help file, although finding out from a conslidated
source like a book would probably be preferable in this case.
