Upgrading Directory Services.

I've been using NIS and DNS since the late 80's and LDAP since 1997.
However, my LDAP experience to date has only been in support of my
offices e-mail server.

I'm planning on replacing my cira '97 Netscape SuiteSpot suite of
Directory, Messaging and Web servers with their current Sun equivilents.
My problem at the moment, is finding much of anything on standard
practices on how to setup the Directory Server. Especially since Sun is
making the push to replace NIS and NIS+ with LDAP.

What are standards (defacto and otherwise) on naming organizational units?

Copying over the current LDAP data, and supporting the Messaging server
is easy; but what is required to support NIS via rfc2307. I'm also
interested in Windows integration. What do I need to do there, and how
will it affect laying out the directory server.
