Samba 4.1 Active Directory Domain Controller on FreeBSD 10.1

To simplify home network management, I recently decommissioned my beefy domain controller/file server/Hyper-V host, moving mass file storage to the cloud. I thought I could live without Active Directory, but with 5 PCs and a couple of Windows tablets, I want it back, so my plan is to host a tiny VM instance in hyper-V on 4 of my desktop PCs, creating something like peer-to-peer AD (hopefully with little overhead).
