[Samba] GPOs, sysvol and such related plumbing

[Peter Milesson]

Hi Miguel,

I have been using Samba AD DC 4.9.1 for a little bit 6 months now. Very 
stable. Never heard of any stability problems concerning GPOs. There are 
no problems with GPOs, but as I found out, you must give the GPO changes 
time to take effect (30 minutes). I haven't found out how to force GPO 
updates under Samba yet, but that's probably due to my lack of time and 
inherent laziness. And you can lock yourself out from a true Windows 
domain, as well as from a Samba domain. Nothing that yells at you that 
you're up to something stupid in either system ;-)

Best regards,

Peter
