Brent, I don't think it's a good idea to store reversibly encrypted passwords in AD, especially since they get replicated to DCs which you not be able to physically secure. However, you can use the password filter DLL to intercept password changes, and dynamically store the new passwords away

Tony, I believe that the 1000 SID limit is only relevant for NTLM authentication - the Kerberos ticket excepts a far smaller number of SIDs in the Token by default (roughly 120). With the number of group-memberships that you have (likely more than 120), it sounds like you'll have to increase the
