We have both Windows & mac systems and Windows 2008 Server. Can we add all these machines to Windows Active Directory domain?

Yes, you can easily join Linux machine under Windows AD with the help of Zentyal open source tool. We’ve already covered a complete series on Zentyal at Tecmint, you can find all the guides at:

i think clearOS is better than Zentyal. We had lot of issues with Zentyal such as DNS & even replication problem.

Yes ClearOS is must better with easy of use than zentyal…

I tried installing Zentyal, but i am not able to see many installation options as shown in Tecmint’s document. Any way i will try ClearOS. Can you please share any document on ClearOS,

i’m a bit curious about, can we also control Linux machines’s policies like disabling access to change wallpaper and network configuration, or disabling removable storage access, etc from Windows RSAT ?
