Anyone experienced using Linux with a corporate AD? (lemmy.ca)

I'm asking because they're might be a way for me to have a Linux laptop at work. But I'd like it to be connected to the Active Directory for login and other accesses. I'm specifically thinking of installing either Kubuntu or Zorin OS. (Zorin seems better)

Anyone got experience with this? How did it go? Was there any advantages or disadvantages in having you computer connected to AD for login?

Should not be much of an issue. I added macs and linux machines to the AD I ran for a university lab way back in the early aughts and even after moving to the university system so that we would not need to run our own hardware it was not that hard. The big issue is if the guys running the AD are onboard.
