The native AD Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) manages Group policies for AD Bridge Linux Agents joined to Active Directory, with the AD Bridge GPEdit Extension snap-in installed on the domain workstation.
The snap-in adds extensions for Linux-based settings that you can configure within the structure of a Group Policy Object (GPO).
Complete the following prerequisites before installing the GPEdit Extension snap-in:
Install GPMC on the domain workstation.
Access to the domain administrator account
Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8.x (Can be installed by the snap-in installer)
To install the AD Bridge GPEdit Extension:
Log in to a domain-joined member server with GPMC installed, as an administrator.
Execute the downloaded ADB_GPEdit_Extension_3_5.exe file.
When the installation wizard opens, click Change to change the default copy location for installation files; otherwise, click Install.
If .NET Framework 4.8.x is not already installed on your Domain workstation, it is installed as part of the prerequisite check before the snap-in installation starts.
Click Next.
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.
