I am not sure you understand him yet. Microsoft, similar to Google and 
Apple, offers various cloud services that can all be reached through one 
single account, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_account for 
details. A Microsoft account to Windows is what an Apple ID is to iOS 
(or at least that's where Microsoft is headed).

JP wants to achieve single sign-on for these services by linking his 
Microsoft account to his AD user account. If it's possible, I don't 
know. But I'm pretty sure it's not a Samba matter.
