Hi Marc,

Thank you for the info. I’m familiar with the usage of the tools themselves. I just have never used them with Samba. I guess the main reason I was asking is that I just setup a Samba 4.1 server on Centos 6.5 (Bind flat file) and not all the tools would work. For example the DNS mgmt would not work, etc. The user mgmt tools did, etc. So because it was not consistent, I was just making sure that I was not barking up a tree when certain tools might not have been supported.

So the share mgmt tools, dns, dhcp, etc should all work then?

I guess i better get reading to figure out what is wrong with my fresh install then.
