Hey all, sorry for the low level question, but basically I'm looking for the easiest way to set up something like a Windows AD. This would be for something like 10 computers at a local church where I do a lot of their infrastructure work. Is also be interested in sound something similar on my home network, but a while directory is probably overkill. And any suggestions on learnings or other suggestions appreciated!

If most of the boxes are Windows, probably Samba4.

But if you're mostly using Linux, FreeIPA is actually really nice.

Ho shit! I never actually heard of this before, but I'm interested now. I've been using Fedora on my personal laptop...and have been wanting to switch to Linux on my gaming PC. I haven't made the leap yet though as I'm not 100% comfortable being without Windows. I know dual booting is a things but I haven't done that in a decade and would rather just have one OS on my Pc. Thanks a lot for your response!
