All Samba 3.x are NT-Style Domains (requires NetBIOS) and Samba 4 is
Active Directory Services (ADS) (requires DNS).
Samba 3.x cannot also be a domain controller with windows servers,
however Samba4 can also be a domain controller with windows servers.
Chances are your Windows Server is Active Directory Services.
here is some light reading:

Hi,
I am scratching my hair a bit with a situation to replace a Windows
SBS with
something more usable and less rubbish :)
I have 2 basic queries:
1.) With samba 3.60 do I still need to the registry hack on windows 7 to
join the domain?
2.) Could I simple kill the SBS box, and advertise my smb as the existing
domain. (Obviously creating the same users, and possibly manually
adding all
the computers to the domain).
It's a very big network and going to a few hundred machines doing a reg
hack, and then joining a domain and copying profiles is just not an
option
at this stage :(
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Michael da Silva Pereira
