I've never looked into that. Never tried, but should, as it is just AD. It shouldn't be able to tell that it isn't Windows. Well - that depends, does the sync client have to run on a Windows AD server? If not, then you probably can sync a Samba solution to Azure AD.

Last I knew, it wasn't even supposed to run on an AD server

Last I knew, it wasn't even supposed to run on an AD server  aww - I've never used it.. in that case - run it from any other Windows server, and bob's your uncle. If Samba is doing their job right, the sync client won't know the difference. The next question is - does MS have any licensing around the use of the sync client as a gotcha?

You can run it on any Windows server, but the problem with Samba is the password hash doesn't get sync to Azure.
