Not sure if Samba in of itself is sufficient to pull this off. However,
there are other commercial products such as Centeris' Likewise and
Centrify's DirectControl that allow you manage Linux computers the same
you manage Windows computers - all from a Windows MMC.
Linux computers and users inherit the same password policies as Windows
users. This means that Linux users will be notified when their password
requires changing and will be given a chance to change at a login. Password
complexity, length, age and history are enforced as dictated by the AD
domain.
