Hey Andrew!!! Great hint with Samba4! For the moment it works like a charm - not to mention the really great tutorials on how installing it. Overall, the Sharepoint 2010 installation & configuration wizard completed successfully.
For the records, here is what I used: -> Domain Controller CentoOS 6.3 x64, installed "minimal" I did some basic stuff first: Admin user, network configuration Then added the samba4 system requirements: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_4/OS_Requirements I had to add the "bind-utils" manually to be able to use the "host" command for DNS testing, and "git" to download the samba4 package Then I followed the tutorial here for a fresh installation: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO I used the integrated DNS service + configured Kerberos. Joining the SQL Server and the Application Server to the domain worked perfectly (Windows Server 2008 R2 sp1) Created a service account on the samba4 domain and added it to the administrators group on both server + configured the SQL Server Services with the service account. And then the Sharepoint Wizard worked just fine :) This is by far the best samba experience I had so far!!!!

I still cannot get rid of the error. So here are the > remaining LDAP queries without response: If sharepoint is expecting an AD DC, then you really have no option but to run an AD DC. See our wiki at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/samba3upgrade/HOWTO for an explanation of the process of upgrading to Samba 4.0 as an AD DC. An OpenLDAP server simply won't have the right structure that sharepoint is looking for.
