Some people say me Linux not support AD,but can i export my AD users to the Openldap?

if i can't export my AD users,can i use MS windows as AD and use Linux for DHCP,Firewall,File server ?

Samba can be see AD users for getting permission?

you can migrate users to an LDAP server, but be aware that ad is a LOT more than an LDAP server. That doesn't mean you need that extra functionality at all. You can use Samba from provide domain membership functionality to reach those LDAP users for client logins easily enough.
