You can of course export file shares from a DC. It's just that our file
server has seen much wider deployment as an AD member instead of a DC,
that's all. There is much more experience with it, and all the topics
around idmapping are much better known. I'm not saying that they are
much better implemented, it's just the better-known setup.
