Samba Windows

is a free software suite that allows Unix-like systems (such as Linux) to communicate with Windows systems using the SMB/CIFS networking protocol. It acts as a bridge, enabling cross-platform file and printer sharing, and can even integrate a Linux server into a Windows Active Directory domain. Core Functionality
