Just to be sure.

Only groups "Domain admins" and "Domain users" are mapped linux-windows
automatically if unix groups do exist.

The other groups must be linked manually in windows users and groups
management.

For example:

Windows remote desktop users group
add-
myunixdomain\remoteUsers



Is it ok?
