Domain Controller - free Active Directory server

A Samba4-based Active Directory-compatible domain controller that supports printing services and centralized Netlogon authentication for Windows systems, without requiring Windows Server. Since 1992, Samba has provided a secure and stable free software re-implementation of standard Windows services and protocols (SMB/CIFS).

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• SSL support out of the box.

• Webmin modules for configuring Samba.

• Domain controller (Samba) configurations:

  • Preconfigured NetBIOS name: DC1

  • Sets domain/realm names on first boot

  • Create new AD domain, or join existing AD domain

  • Created administrator account is pre-set as Domain User/Admin

  • Domain Admins have full permissions on the domain.

    • Default permissions: owner full permissions.

  • Configured plug-and-play printing support:

    • Installed PDF printer (drops printed docs to $HOME/PDF).
    • Configured cups web interface to bind to all interfaces and support SSL.

• Includes flip to convert text file endings between UNIX and DOS formats.

• Includes TurnKey web control panel (convenience).
