I like GUIs because I'm are faster. Now, it's possible to use Samba with the same GUIs. Manage your Samba server with Windows GUIs.

So far the tests are terrific and we had zero issues connecting Windows 7, XP and Fedora clients to the DC. The Samba 4 HOWTO wiki was just fantastic and we were able to set it up in 20 minutes. What's really nice about this is that we now have an alternative to Microsoft which reduces cost not to mention running a fully functional Active Directory DC without the graphical GUI bloat required on a Windows 2008 server. The Samba devs belong in the history books! We too just successfully setup a Samba 4 AD DC on CentOS last week.
