The simplest way is to download the free Microsoft SFU (Services for UNIX). It is pretty tightly integrated with Windows and there is a fairly large and active community of users. See
SUA Community hosted by Interop Systems for more information.
Note - SFU was renamed to SUA (Subsystem for Unix-based Applications) when Vista was introduced. It was formerly known as OpenNT or as Interix because that was the name of the company which developed the software before Microsoft bought them in 1997 or 1998.

NAME
idmap_ad - Samba's idmap_ad Backend for Winbind
DESCRIPTION
The idmap_ad plugin provides a way for Winbind to read id mappings from an AD server that uses RFC2307/SFU schema extensions. This module
implements only the "idmap" API, and is READONLY. Mappings must be provided in advance by the administrator by adding the
posixAccount/posixGroup classes and relative attribute/value pairs to the user and group objects in the AD.
IDMAP OPTIONS
range = low - high
Defines the available matching UID and GID range for which the backend is authoritative. Note that the range acts as a filter. If
specified any UID or GID stored in AD that fall outside the range is ignored and the corresponding map is discarded. It is intended as
a way to avoid accidental UID/GID overlaps between local and remotely defined IDs.
schema_mode = <rfc2307 | sfu >
Defines the schema that idmap_ad should use when querying Active Directory regarding user and group information. This can be either the
RFC2307 schema support included in Windows 2003 R2 or the Service for Unix (SFU) schema.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to retrieve idmappings from our principal and trusted AD domains. If trusted domains are present id
conflicts must be resolved beforehand, there is no guarantee on the order conflicting mappings would be resolved at this point. This
example also shows how to leave a small non conflicting range for local id allocation that may be used in internal backends like BUILTIN.
[global]
idmap backend = tdb
idmap uid = 1000000-1999999
idmap gid = 1000000-1999999
idmap config CORP : backend = ad
idmap config CORP : range = 1000-999999
