[Samba] Group Policy Objects

[Jason Waters]

So I setup the replog replication and that fixed it, then I used AD sites
and created two new sites, and assigned subnets to each.  Then dragged the
servers from the default and put them into the correct site.  Now the local
users are using the local server and same for the remote users.
