[Samba] Samba4 acting as standalone server, smb.conf parameters and run daemons !

[Computer service SPb.]

I don' t want to folllow to MS slogan using *nix soft: for each role is
a separate server, that is for DC - 1 server, for DNS - other 1 server, for
route/gate - one more 1 server, and so on.
By the way I use ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I need compact solution.
For browsing, I can agree with Joe, that for Sysvol and Netlogon browsing i
not necassary.
But I have wider task in my own, I want to get working browsing within Lan
(more then 1 group) and for pptp/l2tp teleworker VPN clients also (much
difficult) .
And I have got it for 70 percent (by my estimation) .
But need some help for that and have posted separate "topic" for it.
