A major benefit I've found to joining Linux workstations to an Active
Directory (Windows 2000/2003) Domain is Kerberos support.  Not only does
this allow SSO between Linux and Windows computers, but SSO for many
Linux services such as SSH.

Very handy stuff.  (This can also be accomplished using a KDC Server on
any OS, its not an Active Directory specific feature.)
