Description

Advanced Samba is a SME Contrib to extend SME's Samba functionality to support all standard Windows Server Roles. Out of the box, SME Server supports Workgroup and Primary Domain Controller Server Roles. These, out of the box, Server Roles address many Windows Network needs, but they do not provide the functionality available todays typical Windows Server.

More specifically, this document provides procedural and SME specific RPM(s) to directly support the Server Roles:

 - Domain Member:  In this Server Role, SME will present Ibays to a Domain as Windows Network Shares, relying on a separate Domain Controller for client/user authentication.  That is, authenticated Windows Network users can access ibays on the SME Domain Member machine without needing a local user account.

 - Backup Domain Controller:  In this Server Role, SME will provide all functionality available as a Domain Member, but it can also take over the role as the Domain Controller if certain network conditions exist.  As with the Domain Member Server Role, it is not necessary for the Network Administrator to create user accounts on the SME Backup Domain Controller machine.  SME, in this Server Role, will maintain (or replicate) a local copy of user/client authentication information from the Primary Domain Controller in the event that it needs to take on the role of Domain Controller.

 - Active Directory Domain Controller:  This Server Role is very similar to the out-of-the-box SME Server Role Primary Domain Controller (PDC).  In addition to those functions provided by the PDC, the SME Active Directory Domain Controller will maintain a directory of Windows Active Directory Services.

 - Active Directory Domain Member:  This Server Role is nearly identical to the Domain Member Server Role except that in this Server Role, SME will have access to Active Directory Services provided by a n Active Directory Server.
