That is nice to know, but what I am interested in is how does Windows 
currently handle that, like backup capabilities, etc. 

It is clear that NT handles it localy (in the registry as JFM suggested) 
and that maybe W2K in compatibility mode does. However, what does ADS 
currently do? How does a workstation get informed as to the capabilities 
of a user on this workstation?
