It’s easier to apologize than to ask for permission.

… it’s a potential 8 ours if charging.

Only in a communist state, comrade.

That’s… that’s what I said.

When has DFS caught on fire?

That it doesn’t exist?

Distributed File System?

Ok, so, no. There’s nothing that exists that’s a 1:1 for Active Directory and the services that come along with it.

This is why companies aren’t switching to Linux in mass.

To sum it up - you’ll always have trouble if you’re solving a windows problem in linux and vice versa. Just for a moment, try imagining a situation where you want to switch a 100% linux company to windows.

I can’t imagine that; not that it doesn’t exist but it’s rare.

Any Tipps on how to do that in a business environment?

Simply replacing MS Office with LibreOffice and Nextcloud for example does not cut it. The tight integration of MS Teams, Office and Cloud functionality is seen as a huge benefit there and I can’t just take that away from them unless I find a combination of tools that work in a similar fashion.

You just answered your own question; you can’t. Add in Group Policy Management and Active Directory and there is no windows replacement in any other OS.

Now mix in O365 and it just got more complicated.

If anyone knows of a 1:1 Linux equivalent for AD, GP, and DFS (both replication and namespace) I’d love to learn about it.

Nope; different. :)

It works with a Pi compute module (which, depending on the kit, is sold separately). It will also run on a standard Raspberry Pi.

Thanks for answering :-)

Serious question; why not use a Pi or a small form factor PC?

For me, I liked the idea of PoE but I don’t think it’s worth the extra $$ for that feature.

I hated them too at first, but that’s because I didn’t understand them and they were new and scary.

They’re still a little scary but, after having a dependency issue on another Linux box, I get the purpose of docker a little bit better now.

Here’s a helpful primer:
