Hi guys, is Neth going to act as additional Domain Controller in the future?

I hope so but we rely on Samba and for instance sysvol replication is not supported actually.

How to join NethServer to a domain as DC, don’t use in production:

My partly successful tries:
Hello, i tested joining Nethserver/NSDC to a Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard and at least the joins worked.
I used https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Samba_DC_to_an_Existing_Active_Directory as a starting point.
I setup a new domain admin called superuser to make the joins.
I did:
systemd-run -M nsdc -t /bin/bash
On the NSDC:
echo domain cmb.local > /etc/resolv.conf
Added my Windows Server as nameserver
echo nameserver 192.168.1.20 >> /etc/resolv.conf
Joining:

I have tried the Zentyal 5.0, it can join Win2008 server domain, or another Zentyal domain as a DC. Not sure how they do in the background. I am still quite confuse about Samba run in a container and the rational behind it.

Redhat doesn’t provide AD-enabled samba packages.
Some links to “container” discussions:

As a side note, I still don’t get why Samba has to be run in a container. [/quote]
I fully share. I’m discovering Nethserver I can’t yet figure out why such constraint, design choice or whatever reason behind this.
However I’m very far from having read lot of documentation or forum yet.
Nevertheless, it looks very strange too me

Bad idea - if something breaks, then this could be a problem…
