You can use many of the normal utilities to extract the usernames
from the NT SAM. Then you can import all of those into a RadiusNT
database with WINNT as the password and the password replace option.
Eventually you can get a full userlist in the database without
causing any disruption of your service (or your users ever knowing).

RadiusNT does have a WINNT password replace option that has helped
many ISPs migrate from the NT SAM to a RadiusNT ODBC database.

RadiusNT Enterprise 2.5.260 now supports proxy on unknown user. This
allows you to define an alternate RADIUS server to send the request to
if the user was not found locally.
