Domain Controller
John is a administrator at a small company. As administration of all the machines have gotten more complex, he needs a central place to manage users, groups and host machines for the network of computers. He's not an expert in that field, so it needs to be simple to set up and come with sensible defaults.
##Workflow:
- John logs into Cockpit on the server he wants to make the domain controller.
- He sets up the Domain Controller role.
- Once he's done, he follows the link to the domain controller web UI and continues the setup.
