You want to log in a remote desktop session? Filesharing session? Telnet? FTP?
What exactly do you want to do with the server?

I am a user set up on the server and I log into it thru any workstation in the room and have a virtual disk for my files. To log in from a workstation I enter my ID and Password and the Domain of the server is listed in the login box.

Honestly?
Wait for Panther.
It is potentially possible to do this in Jaguar, but it requires changes to the server. Rumor has it that this is going to get much better in Panther.
I tried to find a quick guide to this on Google, but I am not having much luck. Sorry.
-edit Sorry, this was rather vague. My comments here are only about attempting to authenticate via a domain controller on the login screen of a OS X system.

OK you have two options:
- Mount your homedrive manually on the Mac. First, find out the path to your homedrive. It will be in the form \\server\share if you ask a Windows admin. Then do command-K or connect to server... in the Finder to logon to this share. You will be prompted for your username/password/domain when you attempt to connect to the fileserver.
- Log on via remote desktop to the Advanced Server. This will assume the server is running Terminal Services and that you are even allowed to log in a terminal session. Ask your admin. If you are allowed then go get the Remote Desktop Connection application from Microsoft. When you run it you will need to provide an IP address or hostname for the server. You will then be prompted to login just as if you were sitting at a Windows 2000 or XP workstation.
Both of these options assume you are on the same LAN as the server or have VPN setup appropriately.

From finder, hit cmd-K.
Either type in smb://IP, or find it in the list.
Next a dialog will come up asking for the domain, username, and password.
Type them each in.
Hit ok.
A box should then pop up asking you to select a share. Your disk should be listed in that dropdown.
Select it.
Note, this is tested using my samba server, but it should work the same for a windows server.

is there a command line version of this that? I'm looking to create an apple-script to automate this, so I don't scare the windows-users who are at our 2 new emac machines in the lab away... i tried smbmount which i use from linux to access the same shared directories but OS X says command not found

The short shall inherit the earth. Just you wait. You won't see us coming. We'll pop out from under tables, beds, and closets in hordes. So you're tall, huh? You won't be so tall when I chew off your ankles. Mofo
