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
