Samba4 has been offered as an option. However, as far as I know, the
packages in Fedora and RHEL are not capable of operating as an AD
server. More specific information is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Samba4
If you want to run Samba 4 as Microsoft Active Directory replacement,
you'll need to build your own packages with Heimdal Kerberos support.
Someday, when RHEL/Fedora offer working MIT Kerberos support, you'll
want to migrate to reduce ongoing maintenance costs, and that's going to
be a huge headache.
If you don't need Group Policy support, you can use FreeIPA to
authenticate Windows and Linux guests:

OS X has been supported, but I'm not sure what the status of 10.7 is.
