[Fedora-directory-users] Fedora Directry as a domain controller
Is it possible to use Fedora DS as a windows PDC? so I can manage windows and Linux clients from the same directory?

Samba is designed to service as an (Windows NT 4-style) PDC. It needs to store information about Windows users and clients somehow, and FDS makes an excellent backend for storing this data for Samba. The Samba HOWTO Collection and Samba-3 By Example (both of which are on Samba''s web site) contain more information about how to set this up. Josh Kelley
