If you want complete AD emulation, you'll need (at least) Samba, OpenLDAP, Kerberos, and a lot of time and patience. A simple fileserver, OTOH, can be done in about 15 minutes, using Samba and SWAT.

As for the mail server, what exactly do you mean? Used for sending mails as a full fledged, public exposed MTA, sending mails as a relay to your providers SMTP server, or for fetching mails from your provider and saving them locally?

OpenSUSE, like any other distribution, is not dependent on the graphical environment. You can run it with an initdefault of 3 and the GUI never even launches, yet you can still run the ncurses 'yast' tool if you still wish. zypper will continue to work and the system will be just fine.

OpenSUSE also has yast configurations for AD auth if you choose to use them
