How would you get it "out of Linux". Microsoft has
no tools for decrypting Linux/Unix passwords.

So the answer is likely, "No."
 
So, If I would like to integrate an AD with OpenLDAP
(the main user database will be OpenLDAP, and I want users to be able to
login in the AD enviroment with the credentials they alreay have)
is there any tweak in the Windows Server 2003 that I could do this ?

Thnx

The best you could do is to set up a Kerberos realm that is based off
the OpenLDAP implementation and then set up a trust from Windows to that
Kerberos realm. Windows will not directly use OpenLDAP security principals.
