That's NT domain and not Active Directory, you know that right King? For 2000 and 2003 server it requires you to configured Kerberos client, LDAP client and some part of samba. There was a tutorial but I couldn't find it, had seen it before, but a Google should find it.

yeah, i figured once i joined it to the domain things would fall into place...guess not huh lol.

But ok so what i want to do can be done? i can have a linux client pull active directory and gpo's etc. ?

Take a look here http://www.onnoot.com/wiki/how_to_join_ubuntu_samba_to_a_windows_2003_active_directory_domain

This shouldn't be any difference than the workstation version, all you need to get is the samba and kerberos client installed & configured.
