I can install powershell on my DC but the Linux-powershell is not 
supporting the ad-commands :-(

Maybe someone has a different solution to my problem. We have a lot of 
Admins managing the AD (all over the world). Yes it's samba :-). We want 
to restrict admins from login to the DCs via ssh. Ssh login should only 
be possible if an admin sends a request via a ticket system and the 
ticket management team then adds him to a special group for a  certain 
period of time. During this time he can login via ssh. After the time is 
over, he will be removed automatically from the group, so then he can't 
login on the DC anymore. That's why I thought about time based group 
membership. But this function needs FL 2016.

Allow only users of a certain to login via ssh is not the problem.
