This boxed comment:
---------------------------------------------------------
If you run the command without specifying which DC to use with '-H', the
ADMX templates may be installed on another DC.
---------------------------------------------------------
which refers to `samba-tool gpo admxload -UAdministrator`
seems muddled. Wouldn't the samba-tool you're running be associated with
a specific DC; i.e. the host which samba-tool is installed on, in which
case omission of the -H flag should always default to the local DC? How
would it randomly write things to a remote URL?
Immediately following one finds this without context:
To install Microsoft's ADMX templates:
msiextract /path/to/microsoft/download/Administrative\ Templates\
\(.admx\)\ for\ Windows\ 10\ October\ 2020\ Update.msi
samba-tool gpo admxload -UAdministrator
--admx-dir=/path/to/extracted/msi/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Group\
Policy/Windows\ 10\ October\ 2020\ Update\ \(20H2\)/PolicyDefinitions/
Samba does not appear to have an msiextract command, so where exactly
would I be running this command? I can't find the command on my Windows
10 client, either. I'm left with no idea how or where one might run this.
