Mailing List Archive: Samba server as PDC ?

unfortunatelly, this is not possible,
u can't integrate a Filer in a samba domain.

the reson is a slight difference in the way names are exchanged

i forget the exact reason, it's a lack of support on Netapp side

try to search back in the toaster archive may help you
