Deleting User Accounts

Quick easy question. I remember on an NT 4 domain contoller, you only had a limited number of SID's that could be used. As users came and went in the company and you deleted their accounts, you would eventually reach the max SID's and either had to wipe the drive and start fresh or you couldn't add any more users.

With Windows/Exchange Standard Server 2003, do I still have to deal with that issue, or will I down the road if I delete old users accounts on the exchange server?
 
There is no 40Mb SAM database limit within AD. A lot of organisations have hundreds of thousands of objects within AD with on problems.

NT4 was tested at above 50,000 users. Windows 2003 has been tested to 16 million I think - that may have been 2000 though.
