I don't recall the package versions on BQ but, I would suggest that
you make sure that the Samba version is higher that 3.0 before you
even start.
Assuming it is Samba-3.x , you should find that it (Samba + OpenLDAP)
will work as an AD server out of the box with just a little
configuration wizardry and the assistance from the 'smbldap-tools'
package.
It's not clear if you're doing it for the sake of doing it or if it is
intended for some kind of production prototype/system however, if you
need further assistance, feel free to ask - on or off list.
