Unfortunately yes. If I want to deploy Ubuntu Desktops in my firm, which
is a part of bigger company, my desktops need to be able to authenticate
against AD servers. If I want to be able to keep my ubuntu servers
working here, I need them to be able to serve as a full AD servers in
distributed AD network, with native MS 2003 servers nodes. 
Maybe in anvironment where network is built from scratch, something
other can be proposed, but when connecting to existing network, you need
to have one of widely used solutions working. One of them is AD. Sorry.
