interesting, thx . . .

SOGO/Openchange/Dovecot/Postfix are on the same box as my Samba AD DC

Inverse provides provisioning instructions for using Samba AD DC as the 
source for SOGo/Openchange, and those have been working properly BEFORE 
we joined the Windows 2008 R2 Servers to the domain.

One Windows Server acts as a Remote Desktop Server (Terminal Services) 
and the other as SQL Server.

I wondered if joining the SQL Server as a Domain Controller would help.  
However, I see that I need to look into the FSMO rules and their 
relationship to SOGo/Openchange (and stay away from a second DC)

How can I join the mailserver portion of my Ubuntu Server?  How can I 
identify it in the ADUC schema?
