4.11? 3.12...yikes. I have done this but only with 50 users. The printer spooling was the only part that gave me any trouble. But that was quickly resolved. Runs like a champ(just like NetWare 3.12).
LDAP is NDS/Active Directory without the pretty GUI apps and the "smarts" ripped out. In the case of Microsoft "smarts", that's not really a bad thing. Once you configure slurpd, your samba domain controllers will stay in sync.
