I don't know all that much about samba ( which is one of the main reasons I'm on this list - to learn more ) but if you can get all your windows domain admins that you want to have root access on unix into a single group, then you can assign sudo privilages to that group. If you use solaris, you may be able to achieve something similar with rbac.
Let me advise caution in this however. Just because someone is a competant windows admin doesn't necessarly mean that this competance will transfer into their Unix activities. Ask them the purpose of the chown command and the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, or something similar(at the very VERY least) before granting them root access. It's generally preferable to have your adminstraters ordinary user accounts in the wheel group as opposed to the root group. The root group should really only have the root user in it. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
