Based on CentOS 7.3, NethServer 7 launches with the ability for the Linux server OS to act as a Samba 4 Active Directory controller, replacing a Microsoft Active Directory domain controller. This is possible by implementing support for native Microsoft Windows management tools like AD PowerShell and RSAT. It also possible now to deploy group policies through native Microsoft Windows tools, allowing Windows workstations to seamlessly join the Active Directory domain without any registry tweaks or special configuration. NethServer 7 also introduces a centralized account management called multi-site.
