You'll want an LDAP server, a Kerberos server, NTP server, pam_ldap and pam_krb5. You can auth against ldap if you don't want kerberos, but I think krb is a much better solution.
Setting up ldap will be the most pain, Active Directory and Open Directory come with schemas set up, but you'll have to figure out what you want yourself. I believe there are some gui tools for this these days, but last I checked it wasn't much better than 2002.
See, that's the point. I /don't/ want any of that. I want to apt-get install --jfdi ubuntu-directory-server. Then I want to apt-get install ubuntu-managed-client. If I have to figure out what I need, the problem isn't solved. (Personally, I hate LDAP, but it is what it is.)
apt-cache search likewise-open No idea if likewise-open-server does what you want, but I played with likewise-open-gui a year or two ago and I was able to register my ubuntu desktop on a windows domain. I could never figure out how to make it do authentication or roaming profiles or management snap-ins though but you might know more of the windows side than me and have a better idea how this is supposed to work.
