David Mulder presents "Samba Active Directory tools for Windows Admins" in his sambaXP 2020 talk. Mulder works as Software Engineer at SUSE (GitHub).
Abstract
This is a follow up to last years talk about managing AD via an ncurses gui. This talk will cover additional improvements to the ADUC and ADSI Edit modules, as well as covering a new DNS Manager. ADUC and ADSI Edit now communicate with AD via samba python bindings, and the DNS Manager interacts with samba-tool calls. The tools have also been wrapped in a redistributable AppImage, which can run on multiple distros. Automated testing has also been written. Slides (PDF)
About the "sambaXP 2020 Retrospective"
In this series we will present recordings of the sambaXP 2020 in the coming weeks. These were selected by SerNet's "Team Samba". The 19th edition of the international conference on the open source software Samba took place from 26 - 28 May 2020 for the first time exclusively in digital form. Due to the changed event format and the use of an online conference platform, organizer SerNet is able to offer all talks as videos for viewing (link).
