System.DirectoryServices and WinNT provider

I am trying to clean up the remnants of an old NT4 domain and am trying to
create a DirectoryEntry object referring to an NT4 group via the WinNT
provider. That part works fine, but I cannot find a way to get the
membership of the group. The same kind of operation works fine on members
of an AD group via the AD LDAP provider.

Anyone know how I might get NT4 group members without using Interop?

You won't be able to do that, I'm afraid. The WinNT provider only
gives you the group membership by calling the .Members method on the
IADsGroup interface.

I feared as much.
