[Samba] Wsus

[Thomas Maerz]

You can join a Windows Server to a Samba4 Domain controller and set up the WSUS server role and it should work. HOWEVER, if you are going to point all your devices at the WSUS server, you will require CALs for the devices or the users using them to maintain licensing compliance with Microsoft. At this point, you have paid for the number of Windows Server CALs you need to run actual Active Directory and may as well not use Samba at all as it is arguably less reliable (in some situations) and feature rich than a modern Microsoft AD implementation.
