Nota Bene:

Solaris offers a number of different features for interoperability with Microsoft Windows. Samba, which is integrated into Solaris, allows Sun clients and servers to interoperate with Active Directory and access file and print services in a Windows network.

Customers can now use Sun Ray virtual display clients and Sun Secure Global Desktop Software to remotely connect into virtualized and centralized instances of Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista. Both Sun Ray Server and Sun Global Desktop Software run on Solaris servers and use RDP to access Windows applications.
