[Samba] File server and AD

[Elias Pereira]

Performing the backup, for example on an external hard drive and restoring
after all ok, the permissions will not be changed?

In NT4 use the "lam" for management. Can I use ldap account manager for
managing Samba4 ADDC or should only use the RSAT? Or is possible using both?
