I have a SAMBA3.6 server running on top of FreeBSD and with ZFS and NFSv4 ACL goodlies. It serves only as a file server to a Windows 2003 network but it runs so well and fast that sometimes I even forget it exists.
Do this instead: get Open Enterprise Server with eDirectory and Domain Services for Windows. You can get a your sundry and basic AD duties done AND still get a cheaper, more stable, robust and feature rich Directory infrastructure than Active Directory.
Linux got some binary compatibility tweaks on the kernel to run programs for other operating systems. I've worked on a similar issue in the past and the relevant services running on an OpenServer were just copied into the Linux system with a patched kernel with their dependences. Luckily the program was simple enough to make it without minor bugs like glitches with the linux terminal.
If dd -> image conversion with qemu-img -> virtualization is not an option you could research a bit about binary compatibility with your old server.
One of the weirdest problems that I've experimented with hard drives was the case of a drive "shrinking" to half its size. It wasn't a file system or partition problem because even the setup of various computers reported that 2TB drive as 931GB corrupting all the data in the process. I've almost threw the drive in the trash but after some research I've discovered that the real problem some stupid shit made by my motherboard flash utilituy. It basically tries to backup itself on the Hidden Protected Area of the drive and "resizes" it to remain invisible that. The problem is that it resized the drive quickly.
Although the only tools that I've managed to find that could recover the size of the disk only run in 32 bit Windows XP I was able to recover that hard disk to its correct size.
But yeah I had backups and the drive that got shrinked was a member of a mirrored ZFS zpool but I cringe in fear that I might accidentally touch "F9" every time this system boots up.
You can just fire the Windows Remote Administration Tools from Microsoft and connect to the SAMBA4 server just as if you would with an AD server. There is also some work done on the SWAT interface but I didn't tested it yet.
If you want to move away from Exchange you can also check Zarafa, an open source implementation of MAPI with some commercial features. Their free version is 100% functional and offers a webmail interfaces pretty much identical to OWA with most of the Exchange groupware features like shared calendars, public folders, meetings and whatnot. The only restriction is the limit of 3 users for the Outlook Connectors. Their commercial version offers some useful backup and management tools, including schema and plugin for AD.
Novell Open Workgroup Suite with Open Enterprise Server, Domain Services for Windows, Zenworks and Groupwise is also great if you have the budget and don't care for code openness.
I've tested alpha 16 and 18 and they are quite functional. I just wish they took the external LDAP route. Running on top of LDAP is good but being restricted to their own internal LDAP server isn't.
Right now if you check their wiki they discourage the use of an external LDAP server. So while they offer scripts to migrate your Samba 3.x LDAP based directory what should I do about the other applications using my directory server? Can I extend the schema? Their default setup doesn't even have the Posix schema attributed to nis.schema.
Relax. That was a joke. And as a joke you should not take it seriously or assume someone has deep misconceptions about your people and culture. Its just the internet. Heck I laugh along every time someone throws me a "BR? GIBE MONI PLIS HUEHUE" comment.
Now, I should be more concerned about this simple DNS block. That might just be the beginning because when the government realize it is not effective they may improve the blocks and that can result as a great firewall for your country. I just don't agree with your "hey it won't affect me because I know how the internet works" attitude.
This makes me think that most of these planets are tidally locked to their parent star. They are very hot on the side facing the star and cold on the other side.
If you put tidal heating on the formula, maybe those freezing dark sides are not so freezing after all.
My boss uses a Blackberry. We're a Novell shop and use eDirectory and Groupwise... and there is some kind of integration with the BB. On the other side, the iPhone clients for Groupwise are very expensive and don't offer basic features like push notifications.
I know I can be harshly bashed here but I don't think publishing tools for POSIX ACLs are worth the effort nowadays. Most filesystems are approaching or already have NFSv4 ACL capabilities. The list includes ZFS, HFS+ and soon UFS2 and EXT4. Those are compatible with the NTFS ACLs too. Example: a Windows client can edit the ACLs of a file or folder stored on a ZFS volume Solaris or FreeBSD server just the way he would on a Windows server.
Seriously. OpenVPN can even breach HTTP proxies. You can also make the server to listen on any port that they allow direct communication. It operates on both TCP and UDP.
I am not a programmer. I work as a network administrator. I take pride in my work and its results because they are as efficient as they should be. However, when the necessity of "talk to people" outside the IT department appears I just lose my will to keep on doing that work. So, if I schedule a reboot of a certain service I have to warn X department and for some reason I just have to gather an extra dose of willpower to do that.
The funny thing is that I'm always observing people. It took a year to befriend the rest of the IT department and understand them(the help desk guys used to hate me but now we're friendly towards each other) but I think I am pretty good at detecting said signals and even predicting people reactions.
mmm according to the project's website (http://llvm.org/Users.html): "Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and iOS5: Virtually all of the code in these operating systems were built with Clang and llvm-gcc."

That link describes the process of an old alpha11 installation. Samba is on RC4 last time I've checked.
As soon as they release a stable version I'll finally get rid of Windows 2003 HVMs and replace them with faster and lighter Linux PVs.

Its not really about Brazilian laws. Its about stupid brazilian judges who are still living on the 19th century and hold way too much power.
The guy was freed anyway.

Someone who is testing says that they've finally implemented it. I'm still skeptical.

Official support for SMB2 exists since Samba 3.6. It was present in 3.5 but it was marked as experimental.

But what should we do about the acronym for Bible? RTFB is already taken.
FreeRDP supports encrypted RDP connections including the strong crypto and FIPS features.

It is easy to comprehend how sharing works. The only problem is that the site doesn't explain how do I make friends.

Question!
What if the defendant supplies the wrong key and when inquired about this claim that the disk was probably damaged?
So Elizabeth Bathory was right all along?
I remember on ipv6 day that my Windows box preferred ipv6 over ipv4.
