[Samba] Samba 3.0 and Win2000 PoliciesHi,

[Gémes Géza]

Therebly sorry but I'll have to disapoint you unfortunately samba3 isn't 
yet an active directory server (however you can join a win2k or win2k3 
controled active directory based domain with security = ads in 
smb.conf), so you couldn't manage it from mmc. But on the list I've read 
lots of successes managing it with nexus (Win9x/Me) and srvtools 
(WinNT/2000/XP) both downladable from M$.

Good Luck!
