samba - Jan 2013 - MS AD Tools

Hello all, 

I'm in the process of trying to get Samba4 up and running as AD for my
company. It's been a bumpy, but productive road. However, one thing that
I'd like clarification on before we go live (which hopefully isn't too
far out), is the use of MS Administrative Tools.

The wiki mentioned using 'Users and Computers'. I have used that
successfully; however there are several other things I'd like to use that
appear to be missing functionality (e.g. 'Administrative Center'
can't find the Active Directory Web Service, 'Users and Computers'
can't get the Global Catalog).

Are these things that have yet to be implemented or perhaps have I botched a
configuration script somewhere?

Thanks much, 
Mike Ray

Unless you try really hard, a successful Samba AD DC install will do
everything we can do out of the box.  Many features remain unimplemented
- we don't do web services for example.
