Hi JamShah

Will be glad if you could provide more information.

Are you referring to,
1. Having a Linux node join a Windows Domain? (vice-versa)
2. Having a Linux node added into a network environment that is entirely based on windows?

Seeking your clarity here.

If you're talking about Directory Services.
That's tricky. Merging both of them together.

Now you have to choose between having a Windows Active Directory or Linux Samba. To get Linux nodes connected to Windows AD (domain), use SAMBA.

However, if you're talking about whether to shutdown services in windows/linux. That's your preference.
Care to share your network topology in explicit in that case?

Samba is the thing to use if you want linux to communicate in any way with windows.
