Mike, Well, there is some half-truth there. To implement and use the AD Client (Directory Services Client) for Windows NT 4.0, SP6a is a pre-requisite. You're not going to get full use of the directory, but you are going to get participation in Domain Dfs, password change on any DC, and use of a few other things.
You won't get, in addition to bunches of other stuff, Group Policy application, Kerberos authentication (though you'll get NTLM v2), etc. As to Native mode - I can't think of any reason that you must be on SP6a. Though, I could be wrong. :-) Hope this helps.....
