I'm actually more interested in poor man solutions and doing on own -- not necessarily synching up with AD or anything else, just basically running useradd and pwd type commands through scripting from Windows to Linux.<br>

Depends on how much you want to spend. There are a number of for-pay<br>
services that allow you to manage UNIX user accounts from<br>
ActiveDirectory. For example Quest sells an AD authentication client<br>
for UNIX and Linux servers, but it's expensive.<br>

<br>
There are also open-source solutions that e.g. let you sync passwords<br>
between an AD server and an LDAP directory. I can't say how well<br>
those work, since I haven't tried any of them, but I expect they'd<br>
require you to use the MD4 hash from the AD side in order to push the<br>
passwords into LDAP.<br>
