samba4 group policy with 2 DC's

[Aaron E.]

Understood, but since this is the case, If I copy the policy over to the 
BDC and I use group policy editor and it opens and edits the policy on 
the BDC I will then have 2 different policies and not know which is the 
correct policy.

Or will it always edit the primary group policy on the PDC when changes 
are made? And all I would need to do is rsync the policies when they are 
changed?
