2018-11-01 Thread John Cunningham
I'm trying to set up a laptop that users can use for remote access to a Windows Active Directory Domain, and would appreciate some guidance in the right direction. It looks pretty straightforward to get a Debian computer to authenticate with AD. But I can't get my head around the remote access pa
