I'm 99% certain this isn't possible.  Windows uses a different
password hashing scheme from what Unix/Linux systems use, so
the user's password must be stored in both forms.  The only
exception might be if you want to make your Windows machines
send plaintext passwords, but I'm not even sure if that's
supported on newer versions of Windows.
