It has advanced quite a bit as an AD platform in recent years. I won't
say it has 100% of the functionality - it doesn't - but quite a bit of
it is there, and it has an active community to support it and continue
development.

If it's been more than a couple of years since you tried it you might
want to give it a try, again.

I have actually installed and configured Samba as an Active Directory
Domain Controller before. But it wasn't advanced enough.

Microsoft definitely won't go open source. They are a profit making company.

Actually, I spoke too soon.  Samba v4 is open source and it’s touted as an AD 
replacement:

https://www.samba.org/

So, you might direct your questions to them.

My assumption is ‘no’ but you’re asking the wrong people.  This is a question 
for Microsoft.

Yes and Kind Of.

Yes, Apache Directory is an open source LDAP server (and an API).

And, yes, it's "something like" Active Directory, but not 100%. Active
Directory has several components, the core of which is a LDAP server,
but AD also includes things like Kerberos, GPO (which is LDAP + SMB),
Netlogon (SMB), etc.
