I'm really sorry to tell you, but CentOS is unable to serve something like AD. The only thing that CentOS can do is serve a NT 4.0 style domain with Samba, but that lacks many of the AD-Features. For example you won't get kerberos or a real directory service. There is actually a method to run group policies with samba, but this requires a software that must be licensed for every windows pc. If you're sure that you only need the NT4-features you can migrate, however I don't think you can use CentOS/samba as a drop-in replacement, because you'd have to rejoin the domain so the clients realize it isn't AD anymore.
