Hi Greg, it has been some time since I tried out SME, but if I remember 
correctly it is based on Centos, if this is correct, then things got a 
bit easier for you. Forget using Samba as an AD DC, you cannot at this 
time setup a DC on Centos, just migrate your samba 3.6 setup to whatever 
version of samba comes with whatever version of Centos you are basing 
SME on, this will allow you to use openldap as before.
