Hai, As far i know, it does not work but im really not sure about it if that is fully correct.>From previous posts. > AD Domain is Functional Level 2012 and we do have Exchange.And samba is unable to join here. Quote Rowland : From my knowledge, you cannot use exchange with a Samba DC. Used was : exchange 2010 And on univention i say. https://wiki.univention.de/index.php/Software_working_out_of_the_Box_with_SAMBA_4#Microsoft_Exchange , which claims it works in their environment. So sorry but i think you have to wait on a dev reply. Greetz, Louis
Thank you Louis, Yes, informations are not clear about this and wiki is out of date. I Hope a dev will take time to answer.

Some notes I can share from testing Exchange 2013 / 2016 against Samba 4.6.5: - You need some ldbedit hacking to get past the OS check Exchange setup performs in the beginning (e.g. operatingSystem: Samba -> Windows, operatingSystemVersion -> 6.1 (7601))) - Any CU update from 2013 or Exchange 2016 does not work because the schema extensions for possSuperiors/authOrig attributes do not cooperate well with Samba - RC1 of Exchange 2013 against Samba 4.6.5 can actually do all schema extension successfully but then we got stuck at the Mailbox Role Installation / EAC not fully functional. After that we gave up. On the other hand, I can tell you that Azure AD Connect works really well with Samba against Office 365. In this scenario you just sync your (Samba) AD users to a new AD setup by Microsoft in Azure and you can run Exchange / Office 365 against the the ADDC in the cloud. Via https://products.office.com/en/business/office-365-enterprise-e3-business-software you can setup a free trial for 30 days. I believe you can extend it to 90 days via the portal afterwards. Hope this helps; Cheers, Geert
Hi Geert, Thank you for these informations. Very interesting. I'll investigate that way Best regards, ----- Mail original ----- De: "LORANG Geert" <geert.lorang at hexagon.com> À: "Gaetan SLONGO" <gslongo at it-optics.com>, "samba" <samba at lists.samba.org> Envoyé: Jeudi 13 Décembre 2018 16:54:26 Objet : Re: [Samba] Samba 4 with Microsoft Exchange On 10/12/2018 11:48, Gaetan SLONGO via samba wrote:> We would like to know if recent developments and improvements allow to use a Microsoft Exchange infrastructure with Samba 4 as an Active Directory Controller ? > > > Any informations about it ? >I've done some tests / research few months back on this but we've abandoned this path as it's definitely not production ready.
