Many things are working great and it really depents on the features you expect from an AD forest. The easiest is, if you would tell us your requirements and we can say if it's working or what the current state of the feature is. Regards, Marc

And many Linux distributions still do not support it well: - Samba on Fedora/Redhat/CentOS does not support AD-DC mode. - Samba on Ubuntu does not have CTDB (i.e. no cluster support). - Sernet does not offer a package for CentOS 7, only for 6.
