All I need is to have centralized management of users and their permission in order to browse shares on samba sever (the same machine with DC) + browsing the shares and printers on domain members to which they have granted access.

What distro are you using?Slackware(64-14.1), so I am used to re-building things to my liking :) Janis P.S. If the client still wants _AD_ DC - can i just build fileserver using the same samba4 build I have for DC (I re-built it after installation of heimdal 1.5.2), join it to the domain and have the shares on FS browsable? Any howtos/hints for such configuration? For the purpose of finding the best solution I already have virtual network of 4 virtual machines (ADDC + 3 types of clients), virtual file server will be fifth.
