How to install programs in Active Directory on Linux machines?

Question

linux

Hello, I raised AD in my organization, set up auto-connection of network drives, and basic software for work.

But now we will gradually introduce Red OS (Fedora with a different logo) due to import substitution.

In general, I entered this computer into the domain, but I don’t know how to remotely mount a network drive for these computers, for example, to the /mnt/samba folder, how to install software there, for example, I need to do yum install cifs for everyone.

I don’t want to manually configure each one, the organization is large, and I didn’t just raise AD, I want to use it too :D

Answer 1

AD is for centralized authorization and resource inventory. But it does not know how to install AD - for this, policies are used, which are not so much AD as a Windows tool. It won't work on Linux.
Use cross-platform orchestrators like ansible

Answer 2

Ansible

Answer 3

AD you, maybe, "raised not just like that" - but definitely not for the sake of managing a fleet of Linux machines. For this, other tools are used.

Answer 4

Ansible, chef, puppet, Salt. In some cases Golden Image is made.

Answer 5

Executing a command on a remote Linux machine , only for these PCs it is desirable to make a subgroup in the domain
Ps more accurate filtering based on wmi, for example by name or part of it
Pss although in your case it is easier to write a deployment script for the main environment during installation, with the installation of the necessary software, copying the necessary configs, with input to the domain, we prescribe auto-mounting by krb token smb balls in fstab, which will solve the problem of access rights to shared folders that are pulled from the storage folders themselves on windows
