> I've been testing Samba4 for a while and noticed non critical issues

> My plan would be to use one samba4 DC as additional DC in win2008 network
>
> So I do have 4 win DCs in 4 separated sites (one domain and 4 sites)
> and I want to use this Samba4 as DC in 5th separate site .
> It will be acting  only as AD DC , Fileserver and print server.

> Since I noticed (from the forum) that Filesharing is kind a more 
> stable in Samba3 than 4 ,   I decided to use Freenas as Fileserver 
> (joined to the domain, and using samba4 as domain dns )
> and I must say the cooperation between S4 and FreeNas  (in my 
> test-lab) (just joined to domain without using freenas-samba4) is 
> pretty stable (I virtualized Samba4-Centos and Freenas9 on the same 
> "metal")

> There is only one issue I noticed regarding replication (in my lab 
> also): If I turn off replication beetween DC in AD sites-and-services 
> console , the Samba4DC and WINDC are still replicating . How come ?

> The main question would be :
> If I join Samba4 DC in this productional Win2008 Domain (4 sites) , is 
> there any chance that this Samba4 DC endangers the WIN domain ?
> If Samba4 site,for some reason,  does not work , it is acceptable 
> because this is not critical site and I always have time to fix it 
> somehow.
> But if potential problem in Samba4DC causes problem in WIN-part of the 
> domain (fsmo goes down because of some false replication or something 
> like that)
> than it would mean high risk for me
>
> So does joining Samba4DC in windomain represents any kind of danger or 
> not ?

> I really appreciate, and congratulate on,  Samba4 work and hopefully 
> replace very big part of windows portion of customers intranet
