I didn't know windows could have users.  

I thought a windows server was the person hired to stand infront of the
box and hit reset on a regular basis.  :)

Obviously I'm not understanding the question.  You should not assume
that we know any more about windows than you do about debian.  Some of
us do, some of us don't.

If the question is how to create debian users, its pretty standard unix.
use adduser or useradd according to your taste.  Install the
debian-reference and read that document.

As it has already been said, your question is not copletely clear.

If you want that your debian machine be part of a windows active
directory domain, read samba documantation (go to /usr/share/doc/samba*
afrer a apt-get install samba-doc). You might also do a google search
for samba active directory.

After having read the documentation, with "apt-cache search samba" you
can see all debian packages related to samba. One example:

$ apt-cache search samba pam
lg-issue105 - Issue 105 of the Linux Gazette.
ldapscripts - Add and remove user and groups (stored in a ldap directory)
libpam-smbpass - pluggable authentication module for SMB/CIFS password database
samba - a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix
libpam-mount - PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session

so you might want to configure pam (which is used in most cases to
authenticate users in GNU/linux) to use a SMB/CIFS or a ldap server.
