Any way for a MAC OS X machine to be added to a windows domain?

I am one of several administrators of a network with 500+ PC's. 98% of the computers on our network are Windows XP/2000 machines and now we are looking at adding Mac OS X machines to the list. We are using a Windows 2003 based domain controller and active directory. I am currently working with a Powermac G4 dual 1ghz machine trying to add it to our domain so there is access to share drives and corprate email. I'm very familiar with OS X on the home side but the business side I struggle. Any help would be appreciated.
 
When I try to set up Directory Access I cannot configure it, the configure button is grayed out even if the menu is not locked. Any ideas?

Oh, the email system is Microsoft Exchange 2003
 
After you unlocked the menu, you selected SMB/CIFS, and the configure button was still grayed out? Is the checkmark next to SMB/CIFS selected?

Click to expand...


I had to deselect the SMB and reselect it and it allowed me to configure it. When I click configure the only thing that pops up is a window where you can add the Workgroup and WINS server, I add the info and click ok and I'm back to the last screen
