Samba3 is an NT-Domain when used as a Domain Controller, it is not Active Directory. It can however participate as an Active Directory domain *member* [not as an AD DC]. Samba3 is a fully-capable file and print server. > Samba 4 ia a ADS style domain. GPOs on the fly and nearly everything else > like ADS. > You can work with MS ADS Tools to administrate Samba4. Samba4's primary purpose currently is to be an Active Directory Domain Controller, or an additional DC in an existing Active Directory domain. Samba4 is not a up-to-snuff yet as a file and print server; for those roles you want to use Samba 3. So you might have a Samba 4 Domain Controller (to create an Active Directory Domain) and Samba 3 member servers to provide file and print services. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
