[Samba] WMI - SAMBA4

[Gabriel]

Thank you for your response. Fortunately, Samba4 has a community like yours
that maintains this great project without commercial interests. Currently,
I am in charge of a Samba4 AD infrastructure with 20,000 active users. The
only negative point we have found is the integration with commercial
products, which are always prepared for AD.

Thank you again for your dedication and effort.

 Gabriel C.
