[Samba] Samba AD Authentication Issues After Update

[Luis Peromarta]

While you can use whatever suits your needs better, I would suggest using Debian for your AD DC roles at least. It’s straight forward and plenty of support from community.

I always run my DCs as KVMs and it’s simple and straightforward.

All the best.
