[Samba] Active Directory - Which Samba version is needed?

Hmm, what's the command I need to type to join the Active Directory?
Would it be:

smbpasswd -j europe.delphiauto.net -U Administrator

"europe.delphiauto.net" is the tree of the AD that this server needs to
be a member of - I suppose.  Or rather, all the users that will login to
the server are in this AD tree.  So I suppose the server should also be
in this AD tree.

Good question!

Well, we're migrating away from a Unix based network to a Windows
network (no, I don't particulary like it, but I can't do anything about
it...).

In Unix, we restricted access based on the machines.  Since all the
machines had static IPs, that wasn't a problem.  We haven't yet decided
how to restrict access in the Windows setup.  We're thinking about
implementing user based restrictions.  But that has yet to be decided...
