Samba File Server as AD domain member

[DavidePrincipi]

File server functionality is currently possible in a NS8 cluster only for a node with a samba-dc domain provider.

Proposed solution

• Implement a File Server only (no DC services) mode with RODC or Domain Member role.

Alternative solutions

• Create another Samba application specific for standalone File Server use case and join it as a server to the domain.
