I doubt it. But you can [I believe, last I knew] that you can establish
a trust between an AD domain and an NT4 domain (with a Samba PDC). That
should provide access to domain resources by AD domain users.

But why can't I use AD as an LDAP server, since microsoft says it's LDAP

Either Samba is a member of the AD domain (and not a DC itself), or
Samba is an NT4 compatible DC that possibly trusts the AD domain.
