So how do you manage the samba active directory setup? does it have a front end?
The easiest way to administer an Active Directory is by using Microsoft RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) on a Windows machine.
"samba-tool" already contains many features for common administration jobs, but compared with the RSAT, it is still missing many options. Another big advantage of using RSAT, it increases the available documentation (books, online, etc.), because it's the common way Windows administrators are doing these tasks.
Download and install RSAT from microsoft website and setup using - Add or remove windows programs feature from control panel.
Most of the RSAT tools hide content and menu options in their default
setting. To enable all features and display the whole content in each
program, go to the "View" menu and activate "Advanced Features".
Typically this option is only visible, when you've marked the root of
the tree view.
