[Samba] Windows 7 Registry Tweaks with Samba4

Hi,

I notice that there are a few registry updates required for Windows 7
when using Samba as a AD DC (according to the Samba wiki). However
I've been able to join a Windows 7 workstation to my Samba4 domain
without using any registry tweaks; am I likely to encounter problems?

What I've read suggests that these settings are required to ensure
that the Windows 7 workstation can see the PDC; however this doesn't
seem to be a problem as I've joined the workgroup without issue.

Therefore can anyone explain what the registry updates do
(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7#Windows_7_Registry_settings)?

That page doesn't mention Samba4, though. So perhaps it's obsolete??

Currently I'm using a Samba 4.0.6 domain controller; and a Samba 3.6.3
File/Printserver.

Kind regards,
- --
