Not sure about Active Directory, but I have used Samba's winbind to authenticate Windows domain users on a Linux box. It was remarkably easy and basically boiled down to adding a couple of lines to the service's /etc/pam.d file; when a user logged in for the first time a ~ would be created for them on the Linux box. Stroller.
