I'd have to find, then dig out, notes from 8-10 years ago.  I put 
together a solution using Sambs (winbind) wherein Linux / AIX / Solaris 
could get user & group information from AD.  Then Sudo simply saw groups 
the same way that /etc/groups (et al.) worked.

 From memory, sudo was actually a very small part of the work effort. 
How you interconnect Linux and AD is EXTREMELY critical to this 
discussion.  So much so that I don't think it's even possible to have 
more than a 1,000 (or higher) foot discussion of the task at hand.

I see it as there are three main ways to do the integration, each of 
which has different configuration requirements for sudo.

1) Samba with winbind
2) Samba without winbind
3) LDAP

PAM comes into play in all of these too.

Email me directly if you'd like me to find my old copy of my notes on 
how I did my Active Directory Integration for Unix (a.k.a. ADI4U) notes. 
  I don't even know if the method I used (Samba + winbind) is still a 
viable option or not.
