Windows Domain Model
You can use the Windows Domain Model in environments with the following characteristics:
• Deploy Windows NT4, Windows 200x Mixed Mode, or Windows 200x ADS servers (with
NetBIOS enabled).
• Support for any number of HP CIFS servers that provide file and print services for corresponding
numbers of users. It requires HP-UX LDAP Integration Client software for ADS domain member
servers.
• Access to an LDAP-UX Netscape Directory Server as the backend storage for larger deployments
to maintain winbind ID maps across multiple HP CIFS Servers.
The Windows Domain Model provides the following benefits:
• Support for Windows domain member single sign on, network logon, and Windows account
management system.
• Support for easy user management across multiple HP CIFS servers by using winbind.
• Easy expansion capability.

In the Windows Domain Model, HP CIFS Server can join to a Windows domain as a member
server with Windows NT or Windows 200x domain controllers. HP CIFS Server supports winbind
to provide UID and GID mappings for Windows users. For a larger deployment environment, you
can use the LDAP directory to maintain unique ID maps across multiple HP CIFS Servers.
