I think so.  I know that work is in progress on various fronts to handle
some sort of directory system, to mimic Active Disastery and the like.
The SMB packets are not much different in the two versions.

Continued pressure on Microsoft to release their proprietary Kerberos PAC
information in some sort of usable form would be a good thing.  Currently,
the docs are published but under a license that makes them useless.
