Hello, i've read a few month here in the list that in Samba 4.11 it will be possible to join a Windows 2012 Server to an active Samba AD Structure. This would be nice, but what about 2016 / 19 Servers. Are there to many Problems withe the new schema of the 2016 / 19 Server? Another Question: what about the Forest function level and the Domain function level that come out of the Box with Samba. I use here Fedora 30 and the Levels are 2008_R2 and i can't raise to 2012_R2. Are there any plans to rise this up to a higher level out of the box or is this only a Fedora Problem. Regards Dirk

If you are, are you also aware that they are marked as experimental because they use MIT kerberos ? Rowland

And yes, i know that MIT Kerberos is experimental. Maybe i would chose Heimdal Kerberos and build my own Packages on my Fedora System. Dirk
