            Active Directory: Bridging the gap between system administrators and Linux developers

            Ubuntu machines can join an Active Directory (AD) domain at installation for central configuration. AD administrators can now manage Ubuntu workstations, which simplifies compliance with company policies.

            Ubuntu 21.04 adds the ability to configure system settings from an AD domain controller. Using a Group Policy Client, system administrators can specify security policies on all connected clients, such as password policies and user access control, and Desktop environment settings, such as login screen, background and favourite apps.

              Yeah, that caught my attention too.

                @black3dynamite and will be able to install MSSQL. Looks like an enterprise path they are going down. Awesome for us, especially after the shit news of RHEL/Centos shitting on everyone. Hopefully canonical will keep to their releases and push more people from centos over to them, I have had no issues and mostly run ubuntu server for most of my servers.

                      They can all join an AD domain. I don't know how hard it would be to manage settings on them tho. In theory it should be easy as you can modify any settings file you want with a script, but theory is rarely reality.

                        Don't believe so. Joining AD, sure, everyone does that. But having a custom set of GPOs that it will use? No, that's a first AFAIK.

                          The entire deal here is GPO. Not scripts, not AD. Mentioning AD is really a red herring. It's completely about having a GP engine.

                                Not exactly the direction I expected you to go.... I was more expecting - those things aren't AD 😛

                                  Cyber-attack hackers threaten to share US police informant data

                                  Washington DC's Metropolitan Police Department has said its computer network has been breached in a targeted cyber-attack, US media report.
                                  A ransomware group called Babuk is reportedly threatening to release sensitive data on police informants if it is not contacted within three days. The FBI is investigating the extent of the breach, US media reported, citing the Washington DC police department. Ransomware is used to scramble computer networks and steal information. Attackers target companies or organisations and can lock their systems, then demand large sums of money in return for ending the hack.

                                      I wonder how much they will get the latency down to. I know they are advertising 50-100Mb/s and 20-40ms latency on their Beta program now.

                                            CI providers like LayerCI, GitLab, TravisCI, and Shippable are all worsening or shutting down their free tiers due to cryptocurrency mining attacks.
