Indeed, Active Directory can be replaced with Samba+LDAP.

Companies like PADL provide AD migration tools. Migration tools are almost
never for free in my experience. This is normal because they are more like
services and support than actual software, and we all know that the big
money in Linux is in providing services. You can also pay an expensive
Linux consultant to do all the work for you.
