With Windows Services for Unix 3.5 you can synchronize passwords between NIS and Windows domains. I think you can also run the NIS server on Windows. SFU also has a client, server, and gateway for NFS, and allows you to run Unix programs on a Windows Server. It's free to download. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/
