Tranquil It have released the arm64 binary and I have downloaded it and
installed it to /usr/local/sbin/ on a Unix domain member.
From the quick test I have given it so far, it works very well. One
thing I have found, you have to run it with sudo, or somethings are
greyed out, I also ran it with a member of Domain Admins, not sure if
that is relevant, I will have to do further testing. Just about the
only thing missing (and I presume they are matching present day RSAT)
is the UNIX Attributes tab. This isn't relevant to myself, but others
may miss it.
I suggest that you give it a try, it is easy to install and use.
