ADSys is our Active Directory GPO integration. It’s available starting Ubuntu 21.04. adsys-windows contains Windows-specific files including a Windows executable (the Active Directory Watch Daemon), and XML files (ADMX/ADML) that are to be used solely on Windows. The package is provided as a safe way for Windows administrators to source the required adsys files that are needed on Windows. [Impact] * adsys-windows is a new binary package. Impact is thus only for people installing. * This is a enterprise feature requested by desktop customers running LTS. [Test Plan] 1. Install the adsys-windows package 2. Copy the adwatchd.exe executable from /usr/share/adsys/windows on a Windows machine and run it: 3. Set a path where the configuration file will be written 4. Input a list of policy scripts directories to be watched The executable will then install itself as a Windows Service and start monitoring the given directories for changes. Whenever it notices a change it will attempt to bump the version in the GPT.INI file at the root of the watched directory. If a GPT.INI is not found, the daemon will create one. For more information refer to the documentation at: https://github.com/ubuntu/adsys/wiki/11.-Active-Directory-Watch-Daemon [Where problems could occur] * As this is a separate, versioned, new package, no impact on existing installations. * Moreover the package has no files that are used in any way on Linux. It's just data to be copied on Windows machines.
