Would they still place nice with everyone else? I'm basically trying to set up one Linux appliance to handle overall authentication and let two other machines simply serve files. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

The Centos Samba packages are usable for a domain member, they just cannot be used for a DC. Rowland

My understanding is that a file server should not simultaneously serve as a DC in an Active Directory setup. I have a small office. While I have no issue making one of the file servers also function as a backup DC, I really don't want to add yet another server to the mix to handle a single role. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com
