The current releases of SME Server do not support Samba server roles directly. Modification of several core SME Server packages is required to support Samba server roles, therefore it is not possible to provide advanced Samba functions with a typical contrib RPM.
The current releases of SME Server do not support Samba server roles directly, but updated packages have been developed and are in the testing repos. It is just a matter of installing them.
====Update e-smith-samba====
1. Install from testing repo:
yum update --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing e-smith-samba
2. Reconfigure and reboot machine:
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
2. Install the patched RPMs:
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot.

Access control to network resources is specified in the SME server-manager web interface, which only recognizes local groups, not domain groups. To maintain current SME Server functionality, this contrib treats all authenticated users as if they are members of the local group assigned to the network resource in the server-manager interface. At some point in the future, this contrib may provide functionality that would allow the administrator to restrict access to network resources based on domain groups.

Adding a Samba server to a Windows network can cause issues with Netbios browsing for the Windows workstations. The computers on the network will compete to win the (Netbios) 'browser election' with the system that wins in charge of maintaining the list of local network computers. The system that wins the election is controlled by OS Level setting. The default OS Level within the SME Samba configuration is 35. The default OS Level for a Windows 2003 server is 32. The higher number wins. Change the Samba (smb.conf) setting to allow whichever system is required to maintain the Netbios browse list to win the election.
====Active Directory====
NONE of the currently supported server roles will fully integrate with an Active Directory network environment. The currently supported server roles will work with NT4 network or windows workgroup environments only. Specifically, those who desire to deploy the Domain Member server role need to be aware that this server role WILL NOT provide domain membership in a Active Directory domain, only a NT4 domain.
