Some questions about domain controller, DNS and DHCP servers.
by n00b_noob from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GP0P)
Hello,
I want to use CentOS as an Active Directory Domain Controller, DNS and DHCP servers and join Windows OS clients to my domain and user could use their Usernames and passwords for logging into their systems.
I have some questions:
1- Is "dnsmasq" OK to launch a DNS and DHCP server? Why some Linux administrators prefer it and why others prefer DNS and DHCP services separately?
2- I visited https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Set...D_DNS_back_end, could Samba acts as a DNS server?
Thank you.
