Fileserver ONLY option?
« on: August 28, 2018, 06:18:22 pm »
Is there a way to install Zentyal server as a fileserver ONLY, and NOT have it also be a domain controller?
Or even install a DC only, without the fileserver option.

Obviously once the fileserver is installed, I'll have to have it join a domain. I know I could probably do this by just installing Samba directly, but it would be great if this was available as a Zentyal install option.

I want to separate out those two functions if possible.
Thoughts?

The last version update of samba 3 was samba 3.6.25 in March of 2015. Since then all efforts have been put into samba4.  Samba 4 by default provides a domain controller and a file server.  If you are looking for an NT 4 style domain then I suspect you will need to install and manage that yourself as it is a legacy configuration.
