First: I have not migrated to Samba 4 myself yet. As I simply refuse to support Office 365 (I use my own mail+groupware server) I am unlikely to hit that bug. But, when I do get around to migrate to Samba 4.x, I would migrate to a full AD environment. I am still checking a few options myself as I am using OpenLDAP extensively for a variety of configuration settings and merging that into an AD-style LDAP tree will take time. -- Joost
