I came across this product called Quro
http://www.resolvo.com/products/quro/index.htm

It seems to have a web-based centralised management console that
allows you to configure ldap and samba without having to edit smb.conf
file. It supposedly comes with a migration tool to migrate all NT/2000
server users profiles to a Linux server too.
