That is the official story - but try it - it works *BETTER* than an NT4 Samba 3.x domain. Seriously, really. Recent Samba 4 builds *are* in production at several sites. It works. http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO Note that Samba 4 is best discussed on the technical list, not yet on the users list.
/me salutes the white mice that will make samba4 better and completely ready to take over the Windows AD service.
You can already have a mix of Samba 4 and Windows 2008R2 domain controllers in the same domain.
I know...but I wanna not have to have any Windows AD.
If you create an S3 domain you face the grisly prospects of having to upgrade that domain to an S4/AD domain someday. Which is *not* fun.
Thanks. I'll stick with the current Windows 2000 AD until samba4 is ready!
