Hello Samba Team,

I am currently using Samba AD as a domain controller in a mixed 
environment and I have a few questions regarding planned features.

System details:
- Samba version: 4.23.3
- OS: Debian 13

Questions:
1. ADWS (Active Directory Web Services) – are there plans to implement 
support for remote management via PowerShell ?

2. gMSA (Group Managed Service Accounts) – will Samba AD support gMSA 
accounts in the near future?

3. Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) – is there any 
roadmap or intention to support LAPS for local administrator password 
management?

Any guidance or information about ongoing or planned developments 
regarding these features would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and for the continued development of Samba.

Best regards,
Philippe OTMANI
