I mostly followed the step by step guide in the samba wiki [0]. I use this
AD DC mostly for testing and developing (kerberos, ldap). While following
the step by step guide i found that samba-tool and friends are not working,
so i tried to fix them, and yes, they do work for me currently using my patch.

My main motivation for running samba as AD DC is that i want to port sssd to
guix. Currently i have a hack for glibc which solves the libnss module lookup
issue. But all this needs more polish and time....
