This is true. However when I tried it (8.1.5 and 7.3 days) I couldn't get it to work reliably. Of course back then all I knew about networking was that there were boxes with lights on involved, so it was probably down to me. Now I understand that there is electric string as well.

As for AD, we already have that - we are windows only. I'm hoping that using AD makes good technological and business sense (we have AD experts as well as Oracle folk in house) for us.
