Hello,
As part of a technology watch project, I was tasked with studying in more detail the possibility of migrating an AD 2012R2 domain to SAMBA 4.
After much research, three questions unfortunately remain unanswered for me (up-to-date documentation is relatively difficult to find...) I therefore hope you can guide me:
- Does the current version of SAMBA (4.16) support Exchange? The schema modification issues seem to have been resolved, but the Samba release notes make no mention of Exchange, and the wiki hasn't been updated since 2012 (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba/Status), so I'm wondering... especially since the latest information I've found seems rather discouraging on the subject (https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2 ... 19991.html)
. Another question: what about site management? I've read here and there that managing them via the CLI using samba-tool isn't recommended, but is possible via Windows RSAT? (Site and Services console, I suppose?)
And one last (purely speculative) question: Do you think the development of PowerShell Core could one day allow Samba administration this way? Not being very familiar with the Python language myself, I must admit that this hope crossed my mind ^^.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide,
Best regards.
