samba - Dec 2014 - ADDC and fileserver

Hi,

I'm planning to make a samba4 domain. My initial plan was to make the DC 
also fileserver. Recently I saw a discussion strongly discouraging the 
use of a DC as fileserver. That was not the first time is saw similar 
remarks.
So I think I need a DC and a member server. But how does it work 
concerning the "home-shares" of users ? Are those also on the 
member-server ? So that needs to be configured with the user-manager ?

I now have a single samba3 PDC that acts as fileserver, serving about 30 
users. This will move to the new samba4 infrastructure.

Thanks for any pointers.

Koenraad.

AS long as yiu use the samba4 ADDC as as ingle Server you can use it as
fileserver too.
Working for me without any problems.

And don't mind login being mostly broken due to winbind4 being
incomplete, maybe.

It's for now the best setup, yes, as the samba4 ADDC components cannot
fully replace the samba3 components used on member servers yet (e.g.
winbind).

Of course, you can (and in most cases should) put both as virtual
machines on the same host.

I think you might be able to use DFS proxying instead, but this would be
the cleanest solution.
