FDS is an LDAP server : so it supports any LDAP client, which would of
course
include software running on the Windows OS. But I suspect that isn't
your real question.
Are you asking if it's possible to use FDS for Microsoft's user and
machine authentication
mechanisms, as a drop-in replacement for their Active Directory ? If
so the answer is no,
because those mechanisms use additional protocols beyond standard
LDAP. It should be possible to
achieve AD-replacement with the new Samba4 and FDS as a back-end but
AFAIK that project is still in development.
Though, using Samba3 as an nt4 domain controller works fine.
