I'm looking into AD for homelab. I have narrowed it down to samba ad / freeIPA / msad.

Looked into openldap and looked to complicated. Besides MSAD anyone tried samba ad or freeIPA.

MS AD - well it just works and if you're looking to learn for industry experience it's the one to go for. Spin up a Windows Server trial edition, re-arm the trial every 180 days and have it running for nearly 3 years. Just before the trial expires completely you migrate the domain to a new install and continue on for another 3 years.

Running Samba-AD. It has it's issues and can be painful but seem stable enough.

Never gotten in to FreeIPA. If you're needing Windows authentication, it's not the one for you.
