[Samba] Samba DC as file server

[Chan Min Wai]

Dear Nicolas,

I also got this question just a week before.
And I do agree that their answer is correct.

With DC only implementation. (DC is important as it control all your
login... form files sharing or even including server login and etc)

if there is reason to take down the files sharing for maintenance...
it would be a bad result.

But having DC as DC (maybe 2 with replication) only implementation.
You should have a Samba Files server (Cluster) which do net join ad..

And with that...
You can take down the files service for maintenance and etc without major
Authentication outage...

Hope that help to explain what I think.
Please do correct me if I'm wrong...

Thank You
