Greg, I understand your problems, but I feel that you and the other 
members of your team need to have a good look at how Zentyal works. 
Zentyal is for all intents & purposes what the Centos based SME is, but 
based on Debian & samba4. Remember this is opensource and it would be 
foolish to try and re-invent the wheel. I am not saying that you should 
blatantly steal their code, but how it works is a totally different thing.
