I made a howto for my Edubuntu/LDAP setup. I am using Edubuntu and OpenLDAP
for my
setup, but I think a couple things in my howto may help you:
www.1-cs.com/ubuntu_ldap_howto.txt
I think specifically this portion of step 12 may help you out:
sudo vim common-session
Add:
session required pam_unix.so
session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/
session optional pam_ldap.so
session optional pam_foreground.so
The pam_mkhomedir.so module will create a home directory on login if one
doesn't exist.
I haven't tried this with a Windows server, but it would be worth a shot.
