Can Linux Desktops Live in an Active Directory World?
LockedSince Palmetto has been fighting with this exact issue, I did a search and found the following article:
Can Linux Desktops Live in an Active Directory World?
To summarize, Novell has included their own code into the version of SAMBA that they ship with their Suse Enterprise Desktop that enables a linux desktop to integrate with an Active directory domain.
unless they release the code to the SAMBA development team, only Novell’s Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop has this functionality.
editing to add:
I just read the full article and the comments, seems that the Suse developers only tested and used code that was already in Samba, so it’s up to each distro to add the functionality. Currently only Suse has done so.
