This is just a collection of tutorials for a home network experiment.
The goal is to setup a small Active Directory domain to ease account management and local sharings.
The Domain Controller will be based on Samba 4 running on a Raspberry Pi. I'll have my other machines: several Windows, a few Debians, a Synology NAS, and potentially Mac OS X joining the domain.
Setting up Active Directory

(EDIT: This can be a good reference, but I failed somewhere. At some point, I realized that I don't really need a Samba DC Router, just too complicated.)
