Samba 4.0 Whitepaper

Introduction

This document aims at describing the setups supported for Samba 4.0 in the role as Active Directory domain controller. Samba 4.0 contains the software components that were previously released as the Samba 3 software and adds "active directory domain controller" as a new server role. The existing Samba 3 setups are still supported by the Samba 4.0 software and are not considered in this document.
