I have a customer with over 30.000 users and a lot of shares. All
authentication uses Samba-AD. The number od users and shares will not be
the most important part, you also need to now how many users are logging
in at the same time and how many users are using your shares at the same
time.> This service handed by Oracle Solaris currently, but the performance is

So you use LDAP for authentication and want to switch to Samba AD. With
some scripting you can transfer your users from LDAP to AD. I did this
several times. Reading users from OPenLDAP and import the users to
AD.> I'm really courious your pont of view or experiene about this topic.

You ask 10 people which distributon to take and you will get 11 answers

That depends on the usage of your systems.>
