You don't really join MACS to the domain. But you can give MAC's access to your Windows 2003 servers. To do this, you must install MAC services on the Windows 2003 servers. Then you must create a mac share so that the mac can use the server.
here is some info:

SUMMARY
Install File Services for Macintosh
Add the Shared Folders Snap-in
SUMMARY
This step-by-step article describes how to share and manage Macintosh volumes in Microsoft Windows 2000.
In Microsoft Windows 2000, the method to share and manage Macintosh volumes has been incorporated into the Shared Folders snap-in in Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

Install File Services for Macintosh
To enable Macintosh users to have access to your files, you must install "File services for Macintosh".
To install "File services for Macintosh", perform the following steps:
Click Control Panel.
Click Add/Remove Programs.
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
Click Other Network File and Print Services.
Click to select the File services for Macintosh check box.
back to the top
Add the Shared Folders Snap-in
To add the Shared Folders snap-in to the MMC console:
Click Start, click Run, type mmc, and then click OK.
On the Console menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.
Click Add.
In the Available Standalone Snap-ins box, click Shared Folders, and then click Add.
Click either Browse to locate a remote server, or Finish if you want to use the local default computer.
Click Close.
Click OK.
Open the Shared Folders snap-in, and then open the Shares folder.
On the Action menu, click New File Share. This starts the Create Shared Folder Wizard, which guides you through the process of creating shares.
Alternatively, you can right-click My Computer and select Manage or Start\Programs\Administrative tools\Manage Computer to access the "Shared Folders" snap-in.
NOTE: This step is an alternative way to access the snap-in in Windows 2000.
Once the Shared Folders snap-in has been loaded, you can perform all your share administration using the snap-in.

Then if you are still having trouble:
(Assuming you have MAC services installed and working properly), you may still have a security issue:
Macintosh clients cannot connect to Services for Macintosh on Windows Server 2003?
When a Macintosh client attempts to connect to a Services for Macintosh shared resource on Windows Server 2003, they receive:
The user authentication method required by this server can't be found.
This problem occurs because the Macintosh client does NOT use the UAM (Microsoft User Authentication Module), AND Services for Macintosh on Windows Server 2003 only allows Microsoft authentication.
To workaround this behavior, either install UAM on the Macintosh clients, or enable the plaintext password option.
To install the Microsoft UAM, visit
To enable the plaintext password option:
1. Open Computer Management.
2. Press System Tools.
3. Right-click Shared Folder and select Configure File Server for Macintosh.
4. Under Security / Enable authentication, select Apple Clear Text or Microsoft.

Or you can look at Admit MAC V2 by Thursby Software that joins the MAC to the Active Directory. You can then logon on to the Windows 2003 Server just like the Windows Workstations, and inforce password changes. That way you don't need any of the extra services loaded for MAC on the Windows 2003 Server.
