Fileserver
« on: January 05, 2013, 03:45:01 am »
Hi, zentyal 3 have new samba4 DC and that is great!
But, i want to make a new server only for share folders, without the function of BDC, only with the users of the PDC.
Is it possible? because there are only 2 option, PDC or BDC even to make a NAS for non domain network i dont know how it can be made.

Thank you!

I'm afraid this is not feasible with Zentyal 3 because Samba 4's main goal is to emulate Windows DC including AD and GPO support.
This said, even if such feature exists server side, you are not obliged to use it  ;)

I mean that you can still use only CIFS (SMB) file sharing feature relying on LDAP accounts and groups. This should not have visible impact if same server is behaving as Windows DC except if you have another DC somewhere but use Zentyal DNS that is exposing its own Windows services.

My goal is to add a fileserver to the same domain, with the same domain users, but I don´t want it to be an BDC.
It´s really simple and it was possible in Zentyal 2.2.
Would be great if there are one more option PDC - BDC - "NAS" and it working with the domain users.

Thanks!
