Zimbra + samba install

[fafa31]

Hello every one,

I plan to deploy a collaboration application with NT domain, and I have 2 choises :

- Ms Small Business Server 2008
- Zimbra + Samba one

I 'd like to use a domain samba synchronizing with Zambra LDAP so that I manage only 1 user account.

To help me in my choise, I ahce several questions :

- Can I use 1 server with both zimbra and samba install on it or is it better to have 2 servers, 1 for zimbra + ldap and 1 for samba ? What's the best and easyer choise?

- Can we manage users and groups for samba like on a windows AD ? Does ACLs can be add on this sort of architechhtucre

- Are there known problems bound has this kind of architecture?

Thanks for your comments,

Fabrice

Yes I do,

I know that we can do Zimbra + Samba + LDAP

But no answer for my question about 1 or 2 servers

Samba isn't a large resource hog service, I can't and don't know why you'd want to run it on a separate server. All three on the same should be ok, and make setup easier.
