Solaris 11 server as Primary Domain Controller

Hi,

All of our servers run Solaris (currently 10, but looking to upgrade to 11). In each of our offices we have a server configured as a Primary Domain Controller via Samba to provide naming services to our Windoze users. I would like to continue with that arrangement, but I would also like to leverage the Solaris 11/ZFS built-in SMB/CIFS support.

My question is this: is this an either/or proposition? That is, if I want to run my server as a PDC, does that mean I use the traditional Samba implementation and cannot use the built-in SMB/CIFS services?

I've reviewed the Solaris docs, but I don't see any mention of this topic.

Thanks,
Bill
