>>>* Adding clients to the domain
>>>* Creating home directories
>>>* Creating login scripts
>>>* Creating shared inbox directories (one-way dropbox style)
>>>* Firewalling issues (Lest You Be 0wn3d by Nimda!)
>>>
>>>Advanced points as time and interest permit:
>>>* Creating user-specific login scripts
>>>* Creating machine-specific login scripts
>>>* Password changes from the Windows client
>>>   (this can be a Black Art, but we'll try!)
