it may be not relevant, or simply wrong, but IIRC, e-smith , a linux 
distrib that was started by mitel, ( http://www.e-smith.com/ ), has 
Samba *and* winXP sees it as a domain. I can't recall if it's an AD (I 
*think* it is, as the esmith server runs LDAP, iirc).

The trick to let the client see the linux/samba server as an AD server 
was to disable some kind of encryption / cert related option in the 
client's registry.

I'll see if i get hold of the colleague that worked on this and ask him 
the details.

hope this is of some help.
