On the Community Edition: Only with a lot of work by someone who knows Kolab 
quite well and effectively replaces the pre-defined LDAP setup.

On the Enterprise Edition it depends on your goals & platform.

We have done this for a very large load-balanced, high-available and site-
reliable installation based on CentOS before for one of our customers.

For smaller installations that is most likely way too much overhead, a good 
chance for you might be to take a pre-integrated solution for this. 

As far as "out of the box" solutions are concerned, you could go with

	Univention Corporate Server 2.4 w/ Univention Active Directory Connector
	(see http://www.univention.de/en/)

on which you can get Kolab deployed in enterprise quality within an hour, see

	http://kolabsys.com/ucsinstall

All in all it should be doable within a day. 

This way you could administrate Kolab users through Active Directory.

UCS 3.0 will provide even more features, but you'll have to wait a few weeks 
for the Kolab packages on the new version.

Best regards,
Georg
