Sharepoint 2003 sites migrated to MOSS don't have Visitors, Members, Owners Groups

It's important to MOSS and Office navigation that a sharepoint site has the Members group. Without it the site will not show up under "My Sharepoint Sites" in office packages.

To create these groups:
1) go to People and Groups
2) Settings
3) Choose "Set Up Groups- Set member, visitor, owner groups for this site"
