Hi Zack

Awesome work.

What's the domain controller? It looks like Molmol at this stage, but it 
might be better to have a different primary controller because there are 
apparently Issues[1] doing file serving and domain controlling from the 
same machine.

A reasonable replacement might be a new VM or using Samson, or 
alternatively a machine we don't serve files from.
