So, I'm seeing some very odd behavior. I may have multiple issues - so I'm simply starting holding the thread of the problem and working my way back. So, the root symptom I'm having is that a GPO isn't applying correctly. [Roaming profiles namely.] I have two DC's. I change the GPO on one DC and rsync the update to the other DC. I can see that the files get updated. Yet when

So, some updates. I started that email a couple of hours ago - but suddenly, without changing a thing, the test client/station is suddenly now getting the correct GPO details. Yet, I've not synced the sysvol or done anything to change or update the GPO on either DC. See inline...

Kind of a whole set of general questions - pardon for one more, please! I've read some of the thinking behind not having a DC also be a file server. But it's not a "rule" - just a suggestion. But here's a wrinkle on things. In more than a few setups, I'll have DC's on VM's - and they won't be serving files they'll be purely DC's. Then on dedicated

I'm working to put up a production FeeeNAS box tied to Samba/AD for authentication for users connecting to the FreeNAS share(s). In joining FreeNAS to the AD domain, one immediately runs into "problems" with TLS/encryption. Samba, in the defaults requires TLS. I could disable TLS security in Samba, but that's probably not a great idea. So, I'll need a key/cert for the

So, I'm curious about the contrast between modifying netplan vs simply disabling systemd.resolved Is there some advantage to the gyrations to make netplan work, vs simply disabling resolved and manually defining the IP and DNS server? [I'm not complaining, I'm thankful for all the options - just wanting to have the best handle possible on the reasoning behind one method vs the other.]

Yeah, I could setup an extra XCP box - but at smaller setups, it really seems like overkill. So, it sounds like restores of the VM work "fine." How often do machine accounts reset their passwords? [This is the one that is most likely to be problematic. Rejoining the domain means a new profile. And that's a big PITA on the client side.] User password changes can simply be handled by

Top posting: So, I do want the five years of LTS in 18.04. {I think - see below.] A substantial reason I'm not using debian/devuan is LTS support. I'm glad to be schooled in that regard, if someone has arguments to make. But I generally want to install a VM/Server/Box for a client and leave it alone as much as possible for as long as possible, and while it still works as initially
