Samba Domain Controller

Challenge

As organizations grow, managing standalone Windows PCs becomes complex and time-consuming due to duplicated account management, repeated configuration, and manual software rollout.

Approach

I designed domain-based setups for centralized administration. With Samba 4 as a full open-source alternative to Windows-based domain controllers, clients can be managed through consistent policies, from desktop settings to automated software deployment.

Samba on Unix provides a secure and economical foundation for centrally managed Windows environments.
