Can Samba 4.2.X work as a member server in a Windows server 2016 activedirectory domain? I am using Samba member servers in Windows
2012R2 domain and would like to know if I can upgrade the domain to functional level server 2016 without breaking Samba.
Thank you in advance for any help,

cannot. The only thing you can provision is a DC.
If you mean, can I set up Samba as a domain member and use it as a
member server, then yes, you should be able to.
You cannot upgrade the functional level to 2016 yet.

Thanks Rowland, sorry for the lack of clarity. I meant can I setup
Samba 4.2.X as a domain member server so that, for example, I can
grant file system access to activedirectory principals. From what
you say, it looks like this is possible. Are you we should not
upgrade the domain functional level to 2016 if we have Samba machines
running as domain member servers?
Hello.
Yes, it is possible.

Thanks Edson, so the Samba member server will work fine even if we
increase the activedirectory domain functional level to 2016?

you just cannot do the same with Samba DCs, the maximum level at
present is 2008R2.
You should be able to use the Samba domain members with 2016, you
aren't actually altering AD (except for creating the computer account).

There is no problem if the samba server is a member server. But if it is
the domain controller's domain, the samba server only supports the level of 2012R2 functionality so far.
