Maybe, in a way, although I would argue that running a domain from XP 
would be silly. If your network is big enough to need a domain, it is 
big enough to warrant a server and a server OS to do it properly.

In any case:

"Samba server are installed on window so that the linux devices can talk to web server
and window files system to do file transfer and all other things."

It sounds like he wants plain old file sharing, although I guess "all 
other things" could include "running a domain" or "making cheesecake" 
for all I know.
