Has anyone seen a zentyal smb ? I like the solution, it makes sense, and it is a replacement to AD.
But how often is it used?
It's rather humorous that I just deleted that ISO from my NAS. I had thought to install it at a NPO, but never got to. Sadly I don't remember my use case maybe for the alternative to Exchange
I think that it is an odd way to go about replacing Exchange. If you want to just replace Exchange, why not use Zimbra?
This was several years ago,.. closing in on maybe four or so. And the knowledge wasn't in place yet.

As someone who has come off of a couple Windows SBS (2003, 2008) servers, it seemed like a pretty nice alternative. I think that is what they were going for when they developed the product. However, the Exchange/Openchange portion always seemed to be a little on the buggy side. With development stalled I don't think I would touch it.

I have used Zentyal and had a great interest in watching over the community and seeing how it was progressing, but I did notice the community is pretty dead.

Maybe this one will pick up the slack!

In what way could we pick up the slack, the Zentyal community was the source of it, it should be the most busy, at least I would hope for Zentyal topics.

@scottalanmiller You never know, perhaps you could drive it?
- I have tried most features out and the samba shares are nice and easy to get configured. The only thing that didn't seem as stable was the mail side of things, I suppose that don't matter as most would be using 365 or Google Apps (or G office or whatever it's called now lol) anyway. -

Why are they redoing the work that Zimbra and others have done?

@scottalanmiller - I've heard about Zimbra, that's one I haven't personally tried, have you?

Because all of these packages do that. Their point is to be an SBS clone

Let me rephrase... that they make their own rather than packaging what is out there, open and mature.

Yes, I've had it in production and even as a hosted email provider. Excellent product.

@scottalanmiller Did you use the Opensource edition or the paid product? and does it run on Debian based distros?

Open source. And I'm sure that it does but we've always used Red Hat / CentOS.

@scottalanmiller Brilliant thanks for the info on that.
