With the final release of Samba 4.2, the last series of Samba 3 has been discontinued! People still running 3.6.x or earlier,should consider moving to a more recent and maintained version (4.0 - 4.2).

With the final release of Samba 4.2, the last series of Samba 3 has been discontinued! People still running 3.6.x or earlier,should consider moving to a more recent and maintained version (4.0 - 4.2). One of the common misconceptions is that Samba 4.x automatically means "Active Directory only": This is wrong!

Acting as an Active Directory Domain Controller is just one of the enhancements included in Samba 4.0 and later. Version 4.0 was just the next release after the 3.6 series and contains all the features of the previous ones - including the NT4-style (classic) domain support. This means you can update a Samba 3.x NT4-style PDC to 4.x, just as you've updated in the past (e.g. from 3.4.x to 3.5.x). You don't have to move your NT4-style domain to an Active Directory!
