[Samba] Samba AD with Microsoft Account

[Jean-Philippe Steinmetz]

Yes I have provisioned the samba server as an Active Directory domain
controller (I mentioned that in the first e-mail).

The reason for linking the two is to provide easy access to additional MS
services that won't be hosted internally (e.g. OneDrive, Skype, MS Store).

Ultimately I am using this as a private domain at home to simplify device
management but I want to continue be able to use existing MS services as
well.
