How can I use Ubuntu to function as a domain server on an XP/2000 mix lab and send a batch file upon login?

I assume it would also be pretty simple to have different network accounts which allow them to access different shared folders on a particular partition of the hdd?

Also, what free filtering software would you recommend to use?

One last thing, the power here is really unpredictable. Is there some way to hook the server to a smart UPS which tells the server when the power is down, which in turn issues a shutdown command to the rest of the lab?

Please, show some pity on teh n00b! I realize I may not be asking the correct questions, but we should have the server within a couple weeks and I am trying to avoid loading XP on it and am hoping to learn a couple things in the process.

Thanks,
