Errm, no. It isn't.
Or SMEserver, which is: http://www.contribs.org. If you have
to ask this
question, I'd suggest at least looking at SMEserver. If it does what
you want it is probably the easiest system to install and manage (all
simple web forms). I'm not sure if it's group concepts will do quite
what you want, though. You might have to give dept managers
full admin
access or do certain operations for them.
I'm not sure an appliance is the solution here as the user said it is
the only server, so where is his account information going to reside?
Most appliances don't provide user account management only integration.
SMEserver includes web forms to set up accounts and can act as a windows
domain controller. It also provides web, ftp, and email/webmail
services and it combines the 'group' concepts for unix permission groups
with email groups to simply things. The down side is simply that if it
doesn't already do what you want (or have a contributed module) it is
much harder to customize that a stock centos - but it does most of what
you'd want as a windows server out of the box - and includes some
options for backups.
