VNC was one thought but then i have load of spare emacs so one of them would be as good. Problem is the willing to learn how to use WGM, they have none.
The ideal solution would be a webobject app.
Are there any flying about out there for distribution???

Its all done via a clever little application in Applications/Utilities/ called Directory Access.
There is in fact no need for a mac server to bind macs to AD, you can add just the correct details in Directory access to the AD plugin and bind the machine. It will then when a user logs in use the default profile. The mac server software is really only necessary to lock the machines down, as your GPOS wont affect the macs unless u buy a product such as admitmac or citrix.
I personally dont like third party software packages and so i would bind each machine to AD and to LDAP (Mac Server).
Use the mac server to control each client using open directory and the windows servers to control the user accounts.
You will need to make sure your mac server is set up as an open directory master, this is all done via another application called server admin which comes with osx server, and then bind all your machines to your mac server and administer them using workgroup manager.
Apple have a good guide on their site to set this all up
