Samba4's useful (if you don't mind using beta software) to create a
Linux DC within a Windows AD.

Samba3 allows you to set up a Linux DC to serve either as a WinNT4
domain or as an "AD" domain (using LDAP and Kerberos), or to set up a
Linux server to join a Windows AD as a member to authenticate logins
and/or shares against AD.
