Sorry to tell you, but that isn't the hardest part.  MS Windows 10 has
tightened the security, so it's a pain in one royal buttom to get the thing
to work.  NFS is much easier to get to work.  And of course, Owncloud and
SFTP just works, as mentioned earlier.

Samba with Kerberos and LDAP would probably be the way to go, if one really
want that.  As that is basicly the basis for AD.
