$ mkpasswd.exe -d
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
mkpasswd: [2453] Could not find domain controller for this domain.
$ mkpasswd.exe -l
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-LOKI\Administrator,S-1-5-21-165
9004503-1935655697-1060284298-500:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash
Guest:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:501:513:U-LOKI\Guest,S-1-5-21-1659004503-19356556
97-1060284298-501:/home/Guest:/bin/bash

hn:/bin/bash
so it looks like SYSTEM and Administrators are always output
$ mkgroup.exe -d
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
Cannot get PDC, code = 2453
$ mkgroup -l
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
None:S-1-5-21-1659004503-1935655697-1060284298-513:513:
Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544:
Backup Operators:S-1-5-32-551:551:
Guests:S-1-5-32-546:546:
Power Users:S-1-5-32-547:547:
Replicator:S-1-5-32-552:552:
Users:S-1-5-32-545:545:
and the SYSTEM group so that shouldn't be a problem.
