The Zentyal folks have done a good job on the Web UI so user/group and file share management is fairly straightforward. Recently, I migrated a 50 node setup, a mix of CentOS desktops, Linux Storage (Debian), Windows 7 Pro, OS X, from a openLDAP+Samba3 PDC setup to Samba4 AD/DC. Much as this group has helped you, you will have to do some homework (reading + experimentation) and bring yourself up to speed on Samba4. There is a lot of documentation <http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/> and wiki.samba.org. -- Arun Khan
