I'm curious how people handle group policy in windows networks that use Linux and Samba. Is it possible to replace AD with Samba and then run only Group Policy on a Windows server? Or is the group policy stuff too tightly integrate with AD? Are there other alternatives? I'm not looking to really lock down desktop computers (although that might be a nice option) as I am in pushing settings like redirecting a folder to a network share and software installs/updates. Thanks
