[TriLUG] Samba Question

[Roy Vestal]

Glad to help. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

BTW, has anyone investigated Samba and Win2k/XP ADS? I just found out we 
are going ADS come hell or highwater, we're Exchange dependants and 
without a long discussion because of it, we have to use ADS in order to 
use Exchange 2002.

I'm not asking for comments, snickers or the like on what I am required to 
use, just anything folks may have run into.

TIA.
