Andrew,

Thanks a ton on the update. On the related note, as the other option - if we could add samba domain as a child domain for an Windows 2008 AD server whether windows users would be able to access the samba 4 domain (child domain) based services. As we are running Sharepoint and Navision in our environment which are accessed by some set of users, we require windows AD badly. For other users I can utilize samba domain. Where I can configure Mailing, Fileserver, Instant Messaging services under samba domain and can provide access for these services for windows AD users (Parent Domain) users too. Whether the said scenario will work in samba 4 environment. Can you please assist on this.

Thanks
Sathya

Sadly Samba4 simply does not support trusted domains.  We would like to work on it soon, we have nominated it as an area to focus on at our annual interop plugfest with Microsoft in late September, but sadly there is nothing more than some skeleton support for a few of the RPCs at the moment.  That's why it appears to half-work.  

Sorry,

Andrew Bartlett
