Description Stefan Kania 2021-03-11 10:37:05 UTC 
Testing the new Linux-GPO stuff I found out that the GPOs not working. The problem is, that samba writes the new GPO to "/var/lib/samba/sysvol/example.net/SysVol". The following workaround helps:
mkdir /var/lib/samba/sysvol/example.net/SysVol
cd /var/lib/samba/sysvol/example.net/SysVol
ln -s ../../example.net/ example.net

Then it's possible to read the GPO with "samba-gpupdate --force" on a client
