Following the info from [this](http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php?topic=12925.0) forum topic, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for the desktops and Zentyal 3.2 as a Directory and file server. Home directories are on NFS share in Zentyal, so that the users can use their own profiles on any workstation.

First I decided to use Centrify DC Express ([Documentation](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DirectControl)) as an Active Directory client Samba shares, like in the forum topic. This type of setup gave me the possibility to use Samba 4's advanced directory options because CentrifyDC immitates M$ Windows client and the security of Samba. It seemed to work in the first test, but then bugs appeared. There are some privilege issues with Samba. For example, PulseAudio cannot initialize on boot because it cannot create the _~/.pulse_ directory. There were the simmilar issues with Firefox on some of the profiles.

Then I decided to use NFS with Centrify but another issue appeared. Centrify makes UID and GID different than the ones in Zentyal and users cannot write to their own profiles. NFSv4 can solve this problem with remapping, but it's still not documented and there's a lack of information on internet. If you are interested in it, you can search for _"/etc/idmapd.conf"_.

So, I choosed the standard LDAP setup, like in the forum topic and NFS. Well, [another bug](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at-spi2-core/+bug/870874) appeared but it can be fixed with a small hack.
