No, you understood it wrong. It is Windows 2000 Active Directory domain in Native mode (no pre-Windows 2000 domain controllers, like Windows NT4).

Samba domain should emulate standard domain features as well as Microsoft native one. They had plenty of time and opportunity to reverse engineer required protocols and functionality.

P.S. I cannot download beta from http://wpkg.org/files/client/beta/1.3.14/. Server is malfunctioning - drops connections, does not send the whole file (only few tens of Kb).
