The only policies that will probably work would be password policies.

Most MS server policies are windows specific.

You can bind an OS X Server with a MS Server, and expand the Active Directory to have Open Directory features in it, but thats getting heavy duty. And from the measure of your question, I would say avoid that.

You're talking about printer and file sharing. Which is not new. As for authentication, thats just binding the OS X machine to AD.

You can just have printers be IP printers, and your problem is solved.

Windows machines can access Mac files, and vice versa.
