However, the advantage that GPO's had when I used them is that they seem to take effect immediatly where some of the registry edits with kixtart don't...

The reason for this is that in a native 2K domain, you can set a GPO refresh interval that downloads and applies updated GPOs. We could certainly implement something similar to that, whether with Kixtart or developing a new app...


I would like to start getting input from other admins that use Samba as a 2KServer alternative as far as the features they would like to see, how it should be deployed, etc.

Not sure right now which is better, modify Kixtart or start from scratch? I have been thinking more and more and definately want to get something started, if for no other reason than it would make my life easier ;-) Of course, I'm willing to share! :-D Also, this could really help the cause of Samba as the GPO thing is a pretty major hurdle for 2K admins to overcome when considering whether to switch or not.
