## Client
Samba provides a wide range of client utilities.
These are documented in more detail in Appendix I.
One of the most important Samba command-line tools is
[samba-tool](https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/samba-tool.8.html).
`samba-tool` provides an extensive set of
administrative functionality for Samba. The most notable functions
are `samba-tool domain provision` used to create a new AD Domain,
`samba-tool domain join` used to join a new DC to an AD Domain and
`samba-tool dbcheck` used to check for corruption in the sam.ldb file.
