Hello Marc,

Thanks for your Answer.

I thought it is better to in install a Memberserver like a Fileserver 
with SAMBA 3 because i wasn't sure to use a SAMBA 4 Installation for 
Fileservices, too.
My actual Knowlede is that SAMBA 4 is primally for the AD Services. The 
File Service is in the SAMBA 3 Code in Package.
I didn't know that SAMBA should be discontinued with SAMBA 4.2.

So i think it is the best Way to install both, DC and Memberserver, with 
SAMBA 4?

What is the State of the Nested Group Support in the File Services of 
SAMBA 4? I want to use AGDLP for Rightsmanagement.
Till this day ich installed the "old" SAMBA 4 iso Image from Sernet and 
the UCS Server 3.0. In the face off it the nested group support was not 
good.

greetings

Hauke
