For what it's worth, I've never gotten any distribution to communicate well with active directory. I know it can be done and there are many appliances and professionally built server products that work flawlessly.
For what it's worth We have now standardized on Suse servers with samba authenticating to Active Directory for our remote offices.
I've been wanting to write a How-to for this, but I need some downtime to do it. But, as always I will try to help anyone who is stuck at a certain point.
I just recently created the SUSE Interoperability Project (sounds fancy, but at this point it is a wiki page at http://www.opensuse.org/SINTEROP), it is not linked to from anywhere yet. The project goals are to provide tested and documented solutions for SUSE to interoperate in an IT environment dominated by other vendors. Initially focused on SUSE Linux 10.0 in a Microsoft environment. Needless to say, anybody and everybody is not just welcomed but encouraged to contribute, both in terms of howtos but also feedback from using the information in your environment.
