As far as I know, don't take my word for it, in order to use Active
Directory on a GNU/Linux host, you need to setup LDAP and have it talk
to AD. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this, perhaps this will
help: http://www.linux.com/articles/40983 .
As far as non-English filenames appearing with question marks, you
need to setup localization correctly. This
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml or this
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Localization might help you get that setup.
Once again, I've never done this, so maybe someone who has can be of
more help to you.
