   I think it is possible to go back.   
      
   A few years ago, I got the reasonable idea that I would like a single   
   user identity for all file shares on my home LAN. So I decided to set up   
   an ActiveDirectory type admin. I think I used OpenLDAP running on a rPi.   
      
   It was only after I “successfully” finished that I realised what it   
   meant. A huge number of system admin tasks had to be done in an AD   
   specific way. The smallest task became a mountain, for me at least. So I   
   rolled it all back, I'm pretty sure I didn't need a full system install   
   on all MS Windows clients, but can't be certain.   
      
   I still like the idea of a network wide user identity, primarily for   
   file shares, but this early experiment has put me off further attempts   
   to achieve it.
