"ooh, I haven't looked at that for years!" ... Sorry, had to say it.
But, from what I recall, the accounts are not deleted from NDS, just
the data from them is copied back in to the local SAM on the domain
controller.

Should be safe to do this, but as always, test it first to be sure.

What was created in NDS4NT will be lost when it is uninstalled. After
all, that is the database that holds the information.

That's not what the novel docs suggest. The tell me I can either return the
NT domain to the state it was before the install (what you suggest) OR it
can take all info FROM NDS and put it back in the SAM
