"Yes" for Windows NT, Windows 2000 and WinXP Professional.

"NO" for WinXP Home; WinXP Home edition is not capable of domain membership
(this is a limitation of WinXP, not Samba)

For Win95 and 98, they can partially be members of a domain, but they
cannot fully participate.  This is a limitation of Windows 95/98.

I do not recall what restrictions, if any, there are on Windows ME.

This is all very well documented in the Samba documentation:
	http://www.samba.org/

Samba is capable of being a member of an Active Directory domain, but it
cannot, so far as I know, be an AD server.
