I'm not sure about AD, no-AD? Do I need it?
I have never found a use for AD or even Windows Domain controllers. Certainly never for a network that small.
Even where they are claimed to be of use (really large installations where people want to log into their desktop from any workstation) they don't work well enough for anyone to actually DO that. So everyone graduates from the Microsoft course and runs out an defines Domain controllers and Active Directory, only to burry themselves in a maintenance nightmare that doesn't meet its very reason for being.
