Feature Request - Using ReadyNAS as Domain Controller
I was wondering if it could be possible in future to allow the ReadyNAS to be setup as an NT4 PDC using Samba. I deal with many small businesses who do not need a full blown windows 2008/2012 server setup but would like more than the basic user security the ReadyNAS currently offers.
Having the ability to set this up as a PDC would mean users could log onto any machine on the LAN providing the machine is joined to the domain. Currently users have to be configured at each workstation etc.
There are also lots of other benefits to having NT4 domain functionality on these devices.
I know it can be hacked in the backend to work as a PDC but I am after a fully supported solution.
