If he means you can't authenticate linux (or edubuntu) users via active directory, he's mistaken.

I'd worry for you a little, if an external person with no linux knowledge and less inclination has to do the setup work and he doesn't really want to, you may have some troubles. Presuming their AD setup is working, you probably just need to get your server joined up onto the domain and tweak a few things locally to get the authentication working. That would only involve root access on the local machine, except that an AD domain admin is required to join your machine to the domain. Once that's completed correctly, you should probably be able to work the rest out on your own.
