We need to allow Windows, Macintosh, and Unix users to log on using their directory accounts which are currently stored in OpenLDAP. We would like password changes (and expiration information) to be consistent across platforms. We already have several departments on campus that are in Windows Domains and I don't see that changing. In fact all the Windows machines will probably be moved onto a domain. How can we accomplish this without destroying existing domain structures and policies?

Have a look at Samba. You might think you don't need Samba, but the whole philosophy is precisely what you want to do, including Openldap integration for Windows (all kinds of 32bit).

Samba 3 is very near final release, so concentrate on that. Download the pdf HOWTO first and read it.
