[Samba] Questions about w2003 server

[Johan]

Greetings and Thank You in advance to anyone who responds to this message.
As the saying goes long time listener first time caller.

Our campus is switching(might I add not with our blessing) to a windows 
2003 backend.
Since we at the library prefer to stay Linux/FreeBsd we are searching for 
information about joining a Samba Server to a 2003 environment. Has anyone 
been successful in integrating the two?
If so could you offer any advice, pointers, roadblocks, showstoppers etc.

Thanks
Johan Dowdy
