@dbeato said in AD User Tool: Bulk AD User:

@Dashrender Then, he needs to force it with Powershell no just a GUI....

Agreed.

I'll add a note for clarity given the title... SaltStack does not do authentication like AD does. AD does not do patching of any sort like Salt does. Salt is an alternative to common myths about AD functionality, but not to actual AD functionality. But you can use Salt to do distributed local authentication management, which does replace the need for AD, but is very different than what is being discussed here. In this case Salt is replacing GPO, not AD.

@scottalanmiller

Great, thanks again.

Samba 4 and samba-tool make getting up and running with AD on Linux pretty quick and easy.

Sounds nice, I'll need to make time to look at this.

@JaredBusch said in AD on top of something that depends on it:

No, JB would say, FFS stop conflating shit. A hypervisor is not a server or desktop OS.

LOL same difference 😛

@JaredBusch how did you setup your NIC for the workstation that had to remote into the AD via ZeroTier? I'm still trying to figure out exactly what was statically assigned as your post wasn't too clear for me (this is new to me).
