  • The NT4-like domain operation mode from Samba 3

  • The Active Directory Services mode from new Samba 4

Looking at the documentation of the Samba 4 software, we can have a detailed explanation of each role, and we will briefly describe it in the following list:

  • Auto: This is the default, and if we use this option (server role = auto) at the command-line tool (for example, samba-tool), we are actually telling Samba to follow the configuration specified on the security setting of the smb.conf file (for example, /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf).

  • Standalone: This is an operation mode that can be selected in the following two ways:
