a lot of different ways to handle this - it all depends upon which language/tools you use.
I have used Webmin LDAP Users & Groups module which can set the sambaNTPassword and userPassword to the same value after encryption.
I have also written a framework application in ruby on rails for my current employer which does this and much much more.
There is also a smbldap-tools perl toolkit which can integrate with samba and can do the same thing.
