10.5.4 Server and Win2003 Server

Question

I've got an XServer with 10.5.4 set up as an OD Master and also a PDC, allow guest access in enabled, and authentication is NTLMv2 and NTLM.
When I try to have the Win2003 Server connect to the domain I am prompted for a Directory Admin account password. When I enter the diradmin account name and password a few seconds pass then there is an error message. On the OS 10 server, in the logs, I can see where diradmin connects and then the message diradmin not authorized.
Has anyone had any success getting a win server to connect to a OS 10.5 server acting as a PDC? I've found plenty of info for going the other direction. What we want to have is the Mac server providing windows clients with login authentication.

Hey David,
I'm really not sure about how your going to get that to work because Microsoft don't allow you to really get "under the hood" of your Windows server, unlike OS X which is a unix variant you can fire up Terminal and do what ever your like. I imagine you could do it if you could make/or find some sort of plugin that would connect the windows server to the apple server using LDAP and grab directory information and populate active directory with that information?
If such a thing exists I have no idea, again becuase you cant get "under the hood" with windows you can't do it manually like you could if it was an apple server?
I wish you the best of luck but it could be a lost cause, however if you do manage it please write about it here I would be very interested to know as this is something I can only dream of, slaving windows to mac for a change!
