Fot those who doesnt know, Samba is Linux’s implementation of the SMB Protocol, which lets you network share with password protection. This allows easy file transfers between Linux and Windows computers on the same network
Source: the time I grabbed a machine we were about to toss and made it a secondary domain controller for our site so we could nuke and pave our misbehaving Server 2012 DC.
(That other one was also a secondary DC - we just needed one on-site so we could prevent our T1 connection to another site from being the bottleneck.)

It can run as a domain controller in active directory as well (2016 functional level now supported)
Can confirm that it can do this fairly well.

Thanks, that’s awesome.
It’s great to see Linux projects getting some funding.
