I've checked in some changes to mkpasswd and mkgroup, which hopefully
help in trusted domain environments and which also are supposed to
allow giving AD domains as domain parameter, e.g example.org instead
of just the NetBIOS version EXAMPLE.

Could you try mkpasswd.exe and mkgroup.exe from the latest developers

Thanks,
Corinna
