I definitely need to give it a shot. I'd love to get rid of Windows Server at home and use it as PoC for doing the same at Customer sites.

I wish I could live w/o Active Directory but, even at home, my threshold for Windows machines I'll tolerate administering w/o Group Policy is "any more than zero".

BTW, assuming you're who your HN username makes me think you are: Thanks for all your work on Samba. I've used the hell out of it at home and with Customers for at least two decades.
