[Samba] Samba + Winbind + Windows 2003 AD

Mon Jul 19 06:22:37 MDT 2010

I'm in a 2k8 r2 domain with SFU and home shells managed through the ADUC
console.  I'm using Samba/WInbind and use samba shares as user home
directories that are mounted at login-time on Windows 7 machines.

This is a first attempt as we migrated to Windows 2k8r2 in order to have
better support for Win7 clients, as we had too many issues with Samba as our
PDC.
