I had been thinking of running AD on Windows Server 2012R2.  I'm not opposed to doing this on FreeBSD and Samba, but it would have to be relatively easy and stable.  I also need to use GPOs for Windows 7 and higher, have a GUI to do that, and work with Windows Terminal Services / Remote Desktop.  (This is largely because I'm new enough to GPOs and AD that I need a crutch until I get used to things.  My coworkers are even less used to it than I am.)

Did Samba install its own DNS server software or just put config files for BIND onto the system?

Thanks for the help.
