I cannot even get to the point that I can say that using a GPO to set
time on a Windows doesn't work, I cannot create the GPO.
I am following this wiki page:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Group_Policy
I have installed the .admx files (after getting hit again by the fact
that unless you use '-H', they get installed on another DC, why do they
not get installed on the DC you run the command on ?).
I have checked and the .admx files are in:
/var/lib/samba/sysvol/samdom.example.com/Policies/PolicyDefinitions
When you do install the .admx files with samba-tool, it finishes by
printing:
Installing ADMX templates to the Central Store prevents Windows from
displaying its own templates in the Group Policy Management Console.
You will need to install these templates from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/102157 to continue using
Windows Administrative Templates.
Which is a bit stupid for two reasons:
1) you have just installed the templates it is telling you to install
2) the '102157' templates are earlier versions.
If you now go to gpmc on a Windows machine, you should be able to find
in the left hand pane 'Computer Configuration', but it just isn't there
for me, I must be missing something, but what ?
