Active directory and Domino

[Mike.Crump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have a potentially stupid question - don't you just love that kind of
intro?

We use Domino for email, applications, Quickplace, and Sametime.  Our
parent company is a huge MS bigot and is now actively working on an Active
Directory rollout.  I know very little about Active Directory so please
bear with me.

We have some people who keep on using our use of Lotus products as a huge
issue when the company implements AD - additional products, gateways, etc.
With the move in Lotus to know use more LDAP functionality I would think
that the directory we would use within our Lotus world would be either a
direct or indirect offshoot from AD.  Assuming QP 3, ST 3, D6, etc. can
that be the case?

Anyone with Domino knowledge, AD understanding/experience, and patience for
my ignorance willing to help me understand this?
