I want know what option exist I could test / evaluate with the aim of remove the AD and the DNS

I appreciate your comments / suggestion

I don't think that you need to choose between managing Linux and Windows servers. For example, you can use Active Directory to manage the usernames and passwords in Linux. I have used system with AD managing connections but I did not install or set that up. So I am not sure how to install it.

The thing you might want to focus on is maintaining a single sign on across all servers and workstations and making sure that everyone has access to the applications that they need and that they work.

Having said that, for me anytime I can kill something that only runs on Windows and convert to something that runs on Linux I would do just that. But you have to find the business need to migrate from one application to another.

exmenen

EXMENEN(1)						      General Commands Manual							EXMENEN(1)

NAME

       exmenen, exmendis - enable or disable extra menus for GNOME, KDE and other XDG menu-spec compliant desktops

SYNOPSIS

       exmenen (--system | --local) [ module ]

       exmendis (--system | --local) [ module ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the exmenen and exmendis commands.

       exmenen	is  a  script  that enables the specified extra applications menu on either a system, or per-user basis.  It does this by creating
       symlinks within /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ (system wide),  or  ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged/  (per-user).  If  the
       XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is unset, its default is taken to be ${HOME}/.config .

       Likewise,  exmendis  disables  an extra applications menu by removing those symlinks.  It is not an error to enable a menu which is already
       enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled.

EXAMPLES

	      exmendis --system electronics
	      exmenen --system electronics

       Disables the system wide extra electronics menu, enables it for the current user.

FILES

       /usr/share/extra-xdg-menus
	      Directory with .menu files defining the available extra modules.

       /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged
	      Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for system-wide enabled extra menus.

       ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged
	      Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for per-user enabled extra menus. If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is  unset,  the  directory
	      used will be ${HOME}/.config/menus/applications-merged

       This  manual  page  was written by Peter Clifton <pcjc2@cam.ac.uk> for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, as it is a Debian-specific script
       with the package.

       exmenen, exmendis and this manpage were derived from scripts and documentation written by Daniel Stone for the apache2 Debian package.
