[Samba] Minimal AD DC server for dev/test setup

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hi Martin, 

The best documentation is in the samba in the wiki. 
http://wiki.samba.org 

And if you want a "sort of" copy/past howto (debian based).
Then go here. https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/tree/master/howtos 
AD and Member howto. 

A "standalone" install in debian is just apt-get install samba 
That gets you a samba 4.5.12 version. ( debian stretch ) 
If you want simple and more version options to test with. 
http://apt.van-belle.nl/  

I have 4.5.15 4.6.11 4.7.3 build in my apt. 

Run :  samba-tool user  
And see the options for creating new users. 

Hope this helps you a bit. 

Greetz, 

Louis
