That depends on a lot of things; and isn't really Samba specific. But: (a) Kerberos is good (b) Using a directory services centric approach is good (c) Policies are good (d) Integrated DNS is good It is a lot to learn, but Active Directory is in every possible way a superior solution than NT4 Domains. > And I am also having a question as we are using 3.x so only because of > active directory in 4.0 we should migrate from 3.x to 4.0 or is it > having some more additional features that can be useful in future. > Please reply as soon as possible.

If you just want to be a file/print server [even as a *member* of an Active Directory domain] then stick with version 3. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Disclaimer~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Information contained and transmitted by this e-mail is confidential and > proprietary If possible please discontinue the use of the silly legal signature. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
