hi

I have windows 2008 server acting as domain controller in one domain and one forest environment.
Now i wish to bring all branches under this domain with ubuntu server with samba installed.
Can i have samba act as additional domain controller to this Parent domain?
Can i manage users with that Samba server?
Will my Windows group policies apply to linux machines?
If yes, any documentation available?

regards
Suriya

Since you're going to be administering Samba, rather than a bunch of answers, you would be better off researching this yourself -- to learn all the details.

You should start by reading through the How To's at the linked site: https://www.samba.org/
