Group policies for AD Bridge Linux Agents that are joined to Active Directory are managed by the native AD Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) using the AD Bridge GPEdit Extension snap-in that you will need to install on the domain controller.
The snap-in adds extensions for Linux-based settings that you can configure within the structure of a Group Policy Object (GPO).
The following pre-requisites are required before installing the GPEdit Extension snap-in:
A domain controller with GPMC installed
A domain administrator account
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.x (Can be installed by the snap-in installer)
To install the AD Bridge GPEdit Extension:
Log in to the Domain Controller as a domain administrator.
Run the ADBridge_Installer.exe file.
When the installation wizard opens, click Options to change the default copy location for installation files; otherwise, click Install.
If .NET Framework 4.7.x is not already installed on your Domain Controller, this will be installed as part of the pre-requisite check and before starting the snap-in installation.
Click Next when the AD Bridge GPEdit Setup Wizard opens.
Read and Accept the License Agreement, and click Next.
Retain or change the default location for program installation, and then click Next.
Click Install to copy the GPEdit extension files.
Click Finish on the last screen of the wizard to complete the installation.
You can now configure GPOs for your Linux endpoints that have the AD Bridge Linux Agent installed. For information about configuring GPOs, see Managing Linux GPO Settings.
