I'm still going to stick to trying to get Samba3 and try and get openldap to work. I've got it going in my test environment with a clean install of samba and openldap. I'm currently making the modifications to a dev. version of the production ldap database to see if I can get it working with Samba3. I'm not worried about Active Directory, openldap works with our environment. Thanks for the suggestions!
