The granularity and scale of active directory is a major thing that is keeping linux out of offices, etc…I know you can do a lot with certain tools but nothing comes close as far as I have seen.
I can see why you’d choose Active Directory on a Windows server over a general LDAP server running Linux. But why can’t Linux Workstations interface with a Windows AD server?
I create Computer accounts for Linux servers at work. It works fine. We only have Windows workstations, though. But, I can’t see how we couldn’t have Linux workstations.
