Hello Andrey, I am testing a small AD DC setup with 65 users and would like to know if you've had stable experience with running DC and File Server on one server. My test server is Dell Poweredge 2950 with SAS hard drives and 16 GB RAM. So far everything runs normally with no high load and similar I/O on samba ports compared to the old standalone Samba 3 server I will be replacing.

I'm using in-kernel capabilities of latest Linux kernels to create separate instances for DC and other daemons.> My test server is Dell Poweredge 2950 with SAS hard drives and 16 GB RAM.? > So far everything runs normally with no high load and similar I/O on samba > ports compared to the old standalone Samba 3 server I will be replacing.Intel Atom, 1Gb RAM, DC and MySQL server in separate containers. Host itself runs a fileserver as a member server. 8 to 16 users, high traffic spikes (users work with large documents stored on network shares). Only issues so far are the user mapping management and new share creation on member server. I can't get the rights management straight yet. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Wednesday, May 13, 2015 19:29:14 Sorry for my terrible english...
