Anyone out there using the SPS 2003 Beta in Active Directory Account
Creation Mode? If so, what are the steps you followed to get this to
work?

I've been working with the Beta in Domain Account mode. We are anxious
for the final release, and plan to deploy as soon as possible. Prior to
that, I am desperate to experiment with Account Creation Mode.

I did make an attempt at this by installing SPS, then following the
instructions in the WSS Administrator's Guide for Account Creation Mode.
The result was a big mess.
