Bug Description

As part of our entreprise desktop offering, there is the request to backport the adsys-windows binary package to 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS.

ADSys is our Active Directory GPO integration. It’s available starting Ubuntu 21.04.

adsys-windows contains Windows-specific files including a Windows executable (the Active Directory Watch Daemon), and XML files (ADMX/ADML) that are to be used solely on Windows.

The package is provided as a safe way for Windows administrators to source the required adsys files that are needed on Windows.

[Impact]

 * adsys-windows is a new binary package. Impact is thus only for people installing.
 * This is a enterprise feature requested by desktop customers running LTS.

[Test Plan]

1. Install the adsys-windows package
2. Copy the adwatchd.exe executable from /usr/share/adsys/windows on a Windows machine and run it:
3. Set a path where the configuration file will be written
4. Input a list of policy scripts directories to be watched

The executable will then install itself as a Windows Service and start monitoring the given directories for changes. Whenever it notices a change it will attempt to bump the version in the GPT.INI file at the root of the watched directory. If a GPT.INI is not found, the daemon will create one.

For more information refer to the documentation at: https://github.com/ubuntu/adsys/wiki/11.-Active-Directory-Watch-Daemon

[Where problems could occur]

* As this is a separate, versioned, new package, no impact on existing installations.
* Moreover the package has no files that are used in any way on Linux. It's just data to be copied on Windows machines.

Hello Gabriel, or anyone else affected,

Accepted adsys into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adsys/0.9.2~22.04 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!
