[PLUG] Having trouble with MS-DFS still...

[michael]

I have one instance of Windows Server 2012 R2 180 day trial running in 
Virtualbox
on top of CentOS 7.

Do I need two to three instances of Windows 2012 R2 to implement DFS 
properly?

There are plenty of Windows 10 computers in the office, can the DFS 
server reference
a single share across two Windows 10 systems?

Do I need to bridge Windows Server 2012 R2 or is the default NAT that 
virtual box
does good enough?  Can I set a different IP address when I bridge?  The 
Linux box is
on 192.168.1.2, I don't want the Windows Server to share that IP 
address.  I want the
Windows box to be on 192.168.1.xxx.

How do I implement Active directory?  I apparently have to use Active 
directory if I'm
going to implement MS-DFS.

Other than that, can I use a samba server to replace a Windows server if 
I have to have
multiple servers?
