For example, before a user opens a certain type of program, the domain controller will authenticate the user’s ability to use those resources. This ensures that users are not allowed to use resources that are above their clearance, and this is faster than forcing another server to do the same thing.

People sometimes forget things, and it can be a massive issue if someone forgets his or her password. It can reduce the amount of work a team can complete in one day. Servers also have to dedicate a good amount of their processing just to passwords. Domain controllers handle all of this. They can replace the normal servers for password management, which frees up those resources. It is generally easier to make a new password with a domain controller, so a forgetful employee can quickly get back to work.
• Upgraded security- A normal sever has a relatively high chance of letting a user through the system without proper authentication. Normally this does not last long and the effects are typically minimal, but this may enable unauthorized access to certain files. Since samba domain controller is made specifically for safety, the chances of unauthorized access are significantly
