samba - Oct 2003 - exchange server and amba 3 integration

Hi,

The decision has been made to use Exchange 2K server despite 
my efforts in suggesting Cyrus Imap with Sendmail.

Has any one used or have suggestions on using an Exchange 2K 
Mail server with Samba 3 as the "only" PDC?

My ?s;

1) Is the 2K Exchange Server integration as simple as having 
a 2K machine joining a Samba PDC?

2) I use smbpasswd as a backend as I am migrating from 2.2.7a 
but should I use a different passwd backend like tdsam or 
ldapsam too make this integration easier?

3) I don't have ldap yet but what are the issues in  
migrating from tdsam to ldapsam?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated,
Bri-

I think that Exchange 2k requires AD.

Hello, 
This might be the wrong list, but I figured I'd give it a shot b/c it deals
with smbmount. I have been mounting Windows shares via smbmount and recently
moved those mounts to automount. I set them up in /etc/auto.misc and they
mount ok sometimes, yet most of the time the atomount hangs. First here is a
listing of my windows mounts in /etc/auto.misc:

#/etc/auto.misc
#
towelie          -rw,soft,acdirmin=3     mrhankey:/home/towelie
epicrap        
-fstype=smbfs,username=<withheld>,password=<withheld>
://NTServer/epicor

I've tried with ipaddress and names and have the same results with each.
When I hang is if I just "cd /misc/epicrap" or if I "ls -l
/misc/epicrap" I
can then break out with a [Ctrl]+[C] and retry, and it works. I do the same
with my nfs shares and they work right away each time (IE: ls -l
/misc/towelie shows me a listing each time). I realize thats probably b/c
its nfs to another *nix server. 

Just wondering if anyone knows about any tweaks for me to try. I have tried
adding the following to my smbmount statement in /etc/auto.misc:
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,timeo=1,retry=y 
but still have the same results.
