NT4 domain policies, yes.  NT4 domain policies are entirely passive and
are really just a shared file.   Samba cannot do AD policies / GPO
policies.

This is well documented in the official Samba Guide and HOWTO.  Although
this is really entirely a Windows issue as Samba doesn't really 'do
anything' when using NT4 policies.
