[Samba] Raspberry as AD Server

[Nicolas Canonne]

Hi all,

I'll try either, as my last tries (1 year ago) to make an RPI4 a Samba 
AD-DC have all failed because of missing dependencies.

Thanks

But that shouldn't make any difference, as the first step when installing Xen was installing Debian 12 on the Raspberry Pi, as described above. I didn't try to install Samba on the bare metal Debian system, but I wouldn't expect any issues doing that, once Debian is running.)
