Our Linux-Windows Integration Services

Many organizations run mixed environments with both Linux and Windows systems. Zwiegnet specializes in robust, secure integration solutions that allow Linux servers and workstations to work harmoniously within Windows-dominated networks — without forcing a full migration.

We implement proven technologies for seamless interoperability.

Our integration services include:

  • Active Directory Integration – Join Linux systems to AD using SSSD, Winbind, or realmd for centralized authentication and policy enforcement.
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) – Kerberos-based SSO for Linux users accessing Windows resources and applications.
  • File Sharing – Samba configuration for bi-directional access to Windows file shares from Linux and Linux shares from Windows clients.
  • Print Services – Integration with Windows print servers or hosting CUPS printers accessible from Windows.
  • Group Policy Application – Apply select AD Group Policies to Linux systems via SSSD and custom scripts.
  • Identity Management – Synchronization between AD and Linux tools (FreeIPA, OpenLDAP) for hybrid identity scenarios.
  • Remote Desktop & Access – xrdp, FreeRDP, or NoMachine setup for Windows users to access Linux desktops/servers.
  • Application Integration – Connecting Linux apps to SQL Server, SharePoint, Exchange, or .NET services.
  • Monitoring & Management – Extend Windows tools (SCOM, SCCM) or integrate open-source monitoring across both platforms.
  • Security & Compliance – Consistent hardening, auditing, and logging across hybrid environments.

Whether you're adding Linux servers to an existing Windows domain, enabling Linux workstations in an AD environment, or building a true hybrid infrastructure, we ensure reliability, security, and ease of management.
