Samba is an excellent NT4 domain server replacement.

Forget about it. Microsoft Active Directory is incompatible with Unix/Linux
- it is part of Microsoft's attempt to lock out competition.
If you are smart, you will forget about Active Directory and replace your
NT4s with Linux running Samba.
My experience with Microsoft AD is that it presents a heavy load on a
network and routinely causes stability and security issues.
Save money, save time, increase stability & security - choose Linux over
Microsoft Server 2003.
There are many websites that will walk you through an NT4 to Linux/Samba
conversion. There are also commercial providers that will help with the
conversion as well.
