I'm assuming Centos has the same problems? Does this essentially mean that I need to move all my servers (which are NT4 domains) over to a new distribution prior to implementing an Active Directory structure on Samaba? What is the best distribution to use for a small office? --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

I'm assuming Centos has the same problems?No, Centos has an even bigger problem. As you are probably aware, Centos is rebuilt from RHEL, Red-Hat has announced that there will never be a Samba AD DC on RHEL, this means there will never be a Samba AD DC on Centos, well not using OS packages anyway.> > Does this essentially mean that I need to move all my servers > (which are NT4 domains) over to a new distribution prior to > implementing an Active Directory structure on Samaba?Unless you can find Samba RPMs that will provision as a DC, or are willing to compile it yourself, then yes, it does look like you will have to change OS.> > What is the best distribution to use for a small office?I use Devuan, which is Debian without systemd, or there is Ubuntu, 18.04 is an LTS. If you use any of these, they all can be provisioned as a DC and if you want/need up to date Samba versions, these are available from here: http://apt.van-belle.nl/ Rowland

Would they still place nice with everyone else? I'm basically trying to set up one Linux appliance to handle overall authentication and let two other machines simply serve files. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com
