I think it's a question of whether Win2003 retains the ability to operate in
mixed-mode (ie, partial AD, partial domain). Samba 2.x still emulates a NT
domain, and if they've dropped support completely for NT domains in Win2003,
then they're right.

That said, it would seem to be fairly stupid to do so since a significant
chunk of their clientele hasn't converted to Win2K yet -- but consider the
source. Samba 3.x plays better with AD, but I don't know about Win2003.
