[Samba] Add Server to Active Directory, Samba4

[Fermin Francisco]

I have 4 pcs. 1 with Centos 6.5 and 3 clients with windows (xp,7 and 8.1.
I installed the Centos machine with Samba 4 as an active directory DC
with domain: example.local. I've added 5 domain users: jose, maria,
juan, pedro and julia. What I want is for julia to connect to the DC and
launch an application which is installed there.

My question is: Is it possible for the Centos machine to act as both a
DC and a client machine so that julia can login remotely?

Yes, I want my users logging into the server.
These users will connect to the remotely.
Sorry, my english is not good!!

Hi
Still not certain what you want to do because you seem to have already
provisioned the centos dc. Although it's unusual, you can use a DC as a
domain client tool.

You may get away with removing just the private folder in the samba
directory but to be sure it's best to remove the whole of the samba
installation on Centos and re-install it. The method is here:
