[ale] how to make a windows sysadmin functional on Unix

[John Cole]

Howdy all!

I'm also wondering what tools on linux are best for GUI windows admins?
That is one of the major limiting factors in getting more *nix boxes
implemented here.
Granted, having console access and commands is great but sometimes it's just
a lot easier to click on a folder and have windows give you a list of domain
users/groups and you can define share and file level security from basically
the same place.  Right now the best way I know how to do it on linux is to
use Webmin/SWAT for Samba shares and then go and change individual settings
via the command line.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Books can also assist with this.

Having come from a heavy Solaris backgroup, you can get up to speed
with http://docs.sun.com. Take a look at teh ADministration collection
for the version of Solaris you are using.
