Hello, list, Anyone running a recent version of samba4 as the only one AD controller in the domain, *in production*? If so, what is your overall experience? I am going to make such an install for a site with some 50 users (and frankly speaking, I am frightened ... so give me some courage!) Would you recommend me to go ahead and do it? Latest release? Any feedback is more that appreciated (really)! Thanks in advance, Yassen
I did it, but be aware no dfs is working at this time and no real printer issues. To have dfs or printer issuses you want to have a recent samba 3 as domain member serving this Services. Look at my read.

Latest release?Yes, use the current GIT tree. We hope to make an alpha14 release soon, but there isn't any particular value in waiting for it. We do have a number of production sites running Samba, including with multiple servers and migrated domains from Windows. A single DC install is very simple in comparison :-). You are free (indeed, it's better) to ask questions about Samba4 on the samba-technical list, or join us on #samba-technical on irc.freenode.net. The code is still alpha, but that mostly means that we need you to work with us closely when something goes wrong, so we can fix it up or work around it as quickly as possible.

Do a daily backup of your samba provision (use scripting/bin/samba_backup) and put a script to monitor the state of samba4's ldap (ie: while true; do ldbsearch -H ldap://localhost '(samaccountname=administrator)' if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then do_restart fi sleep 60 ) As for the moment we only start 1 ldap task if the samba process which is holding this task is killed (because of segfault) you'll find yourself without ldap which is not very a good thing ...
