A Samba server can work as just a workgroup server, a domain server with authentication or domain server without authentication (in case you already have a Windows/LDAP server for user authentication). It also has support for roaming profiles.

I have been using Samba as a domain manager for a couple of years and in a number of organisations. Its fast, secure and very stable but is limited only to WinNT type of domain. Samba 4 is expected to correct that, but don’t hold your horses till its released – if you need a stable environment goin for Samba today.

However, I don’t know of any way to “manage the AD Domain” itself besides connecting to the DC using the remote desktop application.
