[K12OSN] New Questions

[Paul VanGundy]

Les,

In my opinion, the best option to use is the winbind option. The reason
why is because turning on services for Unix is irreversible. So it
actually changes your 2003 schema and the way active directory behaves
while the winbind option doesn't mess with your active directory schema
at all.
