The switch to native mode ONLY affects replication to NT 4.0 BDCs in the
SAME domain. It does not affect clients, member servers, NT 4.0 trusts, Win
2k trusts, applications, standalone servers, NT 4.0 BDCs in trusted domains,
NT 4.0 BDCs in untrusted domains, SQL, the price of gas, the temperature at
the equator, (oops got carried away).
