Considering how Microsoft is promoting AD as Open Standards-compliant,
it's hard to see how FreeBSD would "interfere" with AD. The only thing I
can think of would be the authentication... Microsoft's Kerberos
implentation isn't quite standard, I gather. Has he given you any
particulars as to how FreeBSD would molest AD?

Otherwise, AD uses DNS, LDAP (w/ and w/o SSL), x.509, etc.

Try selling it as "implementing AD in a heterogenous client environment is
good for your career" perhaps? ;-)
