Hi Ahmed,
Exchange can be replaced with Postfix and Dovecot. Unfortunately, Active Directory cannot be replaced. You can use 389 Directory Server but it is a plain ldap directory, not Active Directory. See the homepage for more detail.

No, even Samba cannot act as an Active Directory domain controller.

Hi all
Samba can be a domain controller but with some limitation like group policy for example,
However you do not need to replace all your infrastructure by Linux Systems, You could keep active directory Running replace Exchange server with postfix
