Adding Linux server to a Windows network environment

my company has been using Microsoft servers for sometime, so I want to introduce a Linux Web Server to the current environment, is it necessary to integrate it with Active Directory?

I would recommend not integrating it with AD. It all depends on what this web server will do, but I personally like to segregate my public systems (web servers + ftp servers), if at all possible. That way if the web server gets breached, there wouldn't be too much connection to your Domain Controllers. Because if your DC's get compromised, then it's all downhill
