Being that SUN has a comprehensive agreement with Microsoft, and CIFS IIRC is an openstandard, there is nothing stopping SUN from implementing a kosher CDDL compatible version of SMB/CIFS. As for W2k3, you'll need to use SAMBA, and IIRC, same problem occur with MacOS X - the issue has to do with how W2k3 is setup, in respects to authentication etc. Just google MacOS, SAMBA and W2k3, and you'll find a good number of references.
