You can run Policy and Distribution Services in a Windows-only network when you install eDirectory 8.0 or later on at least one Windows server, such as a Distributor server. This will allow you to manage the ZfS eDirectory objects in a Windows-only network. All Windows servers do not require eDirectory---just install eDirectory on one server for ZfS object management.
You cannot install Policy and Distribution Services to Samba servers.
