samba - Jun 2015 - How Can I create a group policies with Samba?

I mean is that If we have 2000 Linux clients with Red Hat or CentOS server and
want to write a policy for Clients that a network location mapped automatically
on them, What should we do?

 Not sure if you are asking about server or client.? Are you asking about :   
   - Pushing GPOs via Linux SaMBa Server to Windows machines?   

   
   - i believe this has been somewhat doable for years using a windows
workstation mmc pointed at a Samba Server. ?
   
   - Pushing GPOs via Linux SaMBa Server to Linux machines?
   
   - At least four years ago, LikeWise.com had some very limited GPO support for
Linux clients.


Other options to research would be "Desired State Configuration" and
or otherwise move to a devops flavor of configuration management.? MS AD GPOs
are in XML and should to some extent be parseable by anything. ?

There's nothing on *nix interpreting GPOs.

I think it would be a great project, but not that easy to implement. It
need interfaces to different services like pam for passwort and login
management, write/edit config files (global and per user), etc.

Thank you but it just solve a problem. How about other? For example, You want to
disable all Clients Firewall when they logging to their systems or set a
specific proxy without Squid-cache.

At work I use autofs for that. If a user ls/cd/.. in a defined
directory, autofs mounts the share with the user credentials to that
place. No need for the user to enter his/her credentials or store them
in a file or something. If the user is authenticated at KDE login
against the domain via winbind, then autofs does the rest.

I've created a kickstart file and put it on the install DVD. So when
ever someone installs a new CentOS7 client, everything is automatically
there (smb.conf, autofs configs). If the machine should be a domain
member, it just has to be joined to the domain. Works great for all
Linux users at work.
