[Samba] RSAT not working any more?

[Ingo Asche]

Hi Patrick,

that's not quite true...

Only for example the Active-Directory Management Center didn't work for 
as Rowland said the missing Powershell modules and the web server.

But Active Directory User and Computers or the DNS management should 
still work.

I use it on Windows 10 21H1 19043.1320. The only difference is the Samba 
version at the moment: 4.18.8, but I used it also to test 4.15.0 and the 
upcoming 4.15.1 and it still works...

Regards
Ingo
