First: I have not migrated to Samba 4 myself yet. As I simply refuse to |
| 25 |
support Office 365 (I use my own mail+groupware server) I am unlikely to hit |
| 26 |
that bug. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
But, when I do get around to migrate to Samba 4.x, I would migrate to a full |
| 29 |
AD environment. I am still checking a few options myself as I am using |
| 30 |
OpenLDAP extensively for a variety of configuration settings and merging that |
| 31 |
into an AD-style LDAP tree will take time. |
