You should be able to use FreeBSD's Samba and OpenLDAP port without 
issue.  I haven't used Samba with LDAP (probably Active Directory in 
your case), but I know it's supported.  As for connecting Windows 
clients, Samba does include a NetBIOS nameserver with WINS support.

Here are a couple of links to get you started:

Over the summer I implimented this exact setup, an MS Windows domain
without any MS Windows servers, for a company of about 1000 users.
There are some pretty serious draw-backs to not using MS Win 2003 as
your domain controller, but with the right tools you can get pretty
close; and the advantages of not using MS Windows make up the rest of
the difference.

Check out the how-to documents posted by others, if you have any
specific questions let me know, I may be able to help. ( I
didn't/don't use Kerberose, yet.)

P.S. This is not an easy thing to set up. I'm not aware of any easy
ldap servers so you are probably going to end up doing a lot of
development work on your ldap schema, importing users, and setting up
your local directory before you even look at samba. I spent about four
months on my system and I had a working, although very badly
constructed, system to start from.

Step by step if you wanna use Kerberos..
http://www.bayour.com/LDAPv3-HOWTO.html

If you wanna use nss_ldap
http://www.cultdeadsheep.org/FreeBSD/docs/Quick_and_dirty_FreeBSD_5_x_and_ns
s_ldap_mini-HOWTO.html

Personally I prefer nss_ldap. Kerberos is more secure, but it's a bit of
rocket science to set up.


and also you can use this client
http://www.ldapeditor.com to manage the users in openldap. It's the best
free ldap browser/editor and user management program available.
