What about the other way around? Would it be possible to have a Linux machine as a DC with Windows clients? I'm not talking about a Samba server but a real DC with AD and Group Policies.

Thanks for showing such a detail level demonstration of how Centrify DirectControl can integrate Linux with Active Directory; it is ironic to see a Microsoft person demo'ing SUSE :)

FYI, if you are looking for the demos for session 2 and session 3, go checkout http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2008/12/17/running-lamp-on-windows-server-2008-webcast-and-screencasts-now-available.aspx.

Although the demos we do in the live event are slightly different, this will give you a pretty good overview of how open source software runs on Windows Server 2008.

We've improved matters quite a lot since December, so be sure to checkout the web platform installer at http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx. It certainly simplifies all of the manual steps you see me do in the screencasts.
