	In order for you to authenticate to AD you need to have SMB running since it's the bridge between Windows/Everything Else, that means you need to have ports 137-139 open, open ports = security risk... Especially common ones like these.

Thank you Alan. Me to. 

And once again, I am not talking about servers, and I do not see how being able to authenticate to Active Directory by default is "unsafe".

installation by default, if you want to open up your system to the world after the fact that's your choice.  Again, there is no "hacking" involved in setting this up, unless you consider using a CLI and editing config files "hacking".  Also you must keep in mind that Samba has to reverse engineer everything to work with AD, which M$ stole from Novell, and that is by no means a trivial task.  I'd say if you really wanted to demo to your company the power/flexibility/freedom of Linux to setup a Samba server as a domain controller.  Then try using the GUI Samba Authentication tool and see if it works... I bet it would.

Im not sure the Fedora set up is perfect. I'd still really like to get into a situation where the first time I go to say cups and add a printer it also kicks the firewall tools to sort out if you want remote access, and it takes it away when its no longer relevant
