I do understand the part with the Exchange schema, and installing the
demo is a nice trick. However "mirror domain controller" is not a term
I'm familiar with, and it doesn't exist in the samba4 documentation
either :) So, I'm sorry if that's a dumb question, but what exactly are
you referring to?

No, that term is my own invention. In previous versions of Windows (NT) servers, you had the concept of "Primary" and "Backup" domain controllers (PDC, BDC). With versions >= 2003 (I think, it could even be 2000), since MS started to use an ldap implementation named "active directory", the role of what used to be a "BDC" no longer exists. So you can only have one or many domain controllers. In fact, you will always have a "master", since this is the one you will likely reference when using its ip, but basically, all domain controllers handling the same domain will be replicas, hence my naming of "mirror". Because here, the goal is that the domain controller handled on the OpenChange machine should not be modified locally.
