If you already own MS server 2003 why get rid of it AD works better and sounds like you already have it configured?? Like me old pappy used to say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Are you just looking to spend your bosses money?

You can also just download ebox it has a domain controller pre-configured, mail server, proxy, and much more. Its ubuntu 8.04 server with a GUIit’e awsome!!!! I am running a mixed environment ebox (x2), zeroshell, MS small business server 2003, ubuntu 8.04 + VHCS2.47 for a nice webhostng and email platform (use only for yourself not good if you are selling webhosting to insecure for that.) minimum expence for great set up. Only using MS 2003 because P.O.S. program only runs on windows.(tried wine no go)!!

Nice touch…
Lot of smb (small medium business) are considering to move to linux and this is huge step for them.
