Good day!

A new 0.9.12 version of gpupdate package has been released. The facility 
is a part of an alternative solution by BaseALT Ltd to implement an 
Active Directory domain for Linux. The facility supports MS AD or Samba

(disabled by default);

Group Policies to a computer;
- Fixed user interface display of Drive Maps policy for user. Support of 
Drive Maps policy for computers:
