Thanks for your input Luke, Samba is not an option at present as they are still in Alpha and can not be supported in an Enterprise environment. I have tried it and certain things (like password resetting) cause all kinds of issues.
Samba 3 file and printer sharing is a *must* in a homeogenous environment; but I fear I will have a looooong wait before the rest is ready to use. :( You're right though; their design fits my requirements perfectly!
