There is a way to get nmbd started, but it's really not recommended. The 
browsing support doesn't work like it should. I'd tried it in 
production, but the network neighbourhood shows always just a small 
bunch of computers - not even all from the same subnet.

I don't know the state of the development of network neighbourhood 
functions in Samba AD. It's planned to get it working again. But I guess 
there are more important things to fix/implement.
