Did you ever try NethServer ?

@scottalanmiller exactly. However, if I remember correctly, I did use other IP address. It was clear to me that I need NEW IP address for DC.

@travisdh1 I can't get your point, you're able to setup a Samba4 DC on CentOS, managed by webinterface with one click?

NethServer does NOT do Samba4 with 1 click. I think we've established that much here at least. When adding a Samba DC in a greenfield (no existing Domain Controllers), it's a quick and simple configuration change. Even taking into account needing to provide DHCP, DNS and NTP from the same box. Of course I'm an old time Linux/UNIX admin, so this stuff should be simple for me to setup.

@scottalanmiller Thanks man, I'll suggest it to my community so we can discuss the improvement

I have set it up to use as a simple DNS server for my lab network, and I gotta say, it was easy to do, and the web interface is nice to use and is more along the lines of simplistic in nature, which is nice to see!

Does it only do A records? That's all I saw in the demo.

I only use the A and CNAME at the moment, but I think it can do all of them. I'll spin it back up and check.

Thanks, glad to know. That's our main goal!

Here is what I see in the demo. It might be different on a desktop.
