Hi, Im attempting to apply a few group policy settings but they dont seem to be applying on the machine in question, or some settings I cannot see in the GPME.


  1.  Settings applied to openssh dont seem to create the required config files in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ for ssh to actually pick up on these changes. Is there a different location its applying these to that I can verify with? Below is an example of what im trying to set just to see if it works

CSE: vgp_openssh_ext
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Policy Type: VGP/Unix Settings/OpenSSH
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [ PermitRootLogon ] = yes
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2.  In GPME I do not see 'Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Samba > GNOME' when editing my policy with the default samba admx template that was loaded via 'samba-tool gpo admxload -U Administrator". Not quite sure how to go about debugging why its not there since the wiki just says that its with the default template is loaded. Does it matter that I already had windows admx templates installed then installed samba admx templates after the fact?
