Yes, in fact that was one of the things I haven't mentioned. We're going with either to physical servers (nice ones) or with Blades + VMWare ESXi. We will build a redundant pair of servers.

I am a little concerned about the amount of users / machines, and therefore GPOs that would need to be configured / applied in order to support such network.
The only consideration of GPO scalability is that GPOs are shared objects on a folder, so you have to secure the availability to the workstations.

I am interested in more details regarding the ACL issues you have. What kind of issues you see?
The default Linux mount options could not support store windows file ACL attributes. There are recomended file systems for that task like XFS.

Regarding the linux permissions / file system. are you working with Samba as the file server as well ? (the files resides on a linux box?, that's what I mean)
Syncing the groups that you create inside Active Directory with the ACL stored would be easy or sometimes a tricky task. You could search the forum about this.

Thanks a lot!

    I had a Samba4 (4.0.0beta2-GIT) installation in production, with
    40 something workstations with WinXP, Vista y 7  and a couple
    servers with windows 2008 and 2003 server. To this time it had
    worked pretty fine, i only have some issues related with ACL, some
    of them more related with mixed permissions on Linux filesystem.
    We use GPO to control some windows features at workstation level
    and the WSUS policies it works as expected. On your enviroment i
    think that should consider some kind redundancy, maybe a slave DC.

        We're involved in a project that the requirements could be
        satisfied
        with both samba3 and 4. Anyway I am testing what can be done with
        Samba4 and after following the tutorial published in the official
        wiki, I was able to create my test domain, and join WinXP and Win7
        machines to it without a problem.

        I still need to test the GPO functionality, and some other
        stuff, but
        before continuing with that testing, I would like to as you,
        what do
        you thing about using samba4 in a network with about 700 computers
        (mixed between WinXP, Vista, 7 and 2000) and about the same
        amount of
        users.

        Will it be stable enough? can I 'trust' samba for such network?

        Thanks a lot in advance!
