I hope if you are not talking about accessing windows desktop graphically (via vnc or remote desktop) then you got to configure your samba as a PDC with roaming profiles so that your users desktop files can be stored at your linux pdc server & you can run scripts with domain policies.

For that you can follow installation procedure mentioned on : http://amitsharma.linuxbloggers.com/how_to_samba.htm

Regards,
Amit sharma
