I support some organizations using Microsoft Small Business Server 2000, with relatively simple Active Directory domains.
AFAICT, they use simple printer and server file shares for Windows 9x and 2K and XP clients, the centralized user accounts with server-mapped home directories, and not many other features of a domain. I want to plan a migration away from Microsoft Domain Controllers ASAP. I'm motivated by disaster-recovery and routine management concerns. I'd sleep much better with configuration in /etc plaintext files, rather than some binary registry theoretically backed up on tape. I think I'm obliged to wait for Samba-4.0, and would like to read as much about the planned domain controller capabilities as possible. Is anyone blogging Samba-4.0 development in detail? http://news.samba.org/ has no 4.0 mention since 2007-01-31. I'm reading http://viewcvs.samba.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/branches/SAMBA_4_0/WHATSNEW.txt?rev=23373&view=auto for information.
