Great summary from Luke, but I would add a couple of things:

I though pdbedit was only for non-active directory setups? However, it's
easy to add attributes to a user manually with ldbedit or via script with
ldbmodify. There are also samba-tool options to add most of the common
ones at user creation time. See "samba-tool user add --help".

I would recommend not wasting your money on Windows Server, as the ADUC
tools are identical between server and desktop versions of windows.
