I don't know how exchange works but i'm pretty sure you can join the w2k machine to the samba controlled domain in NT4 mode. I would guess that exchange will use that userdb ...

" don't use active directory unless you really need it. better yet don't use exchange - you'll be sorry. It's byzantine and they rape you on the licensing fees... Instead use a web groupware suite like phpgroupware like i do (which can use the ldap db for authentication) People like the outlook integration but I don't think it's worth the time or trouble. brad -- Bradley W.
