GPO adjustment with QNAP/Samba based AD controller?

Hey guys, quick question, our work environment is running on a Qnap NAS as an AD Controller, I didn't set this up, just inherited it. Is there a way to integrate/use Group Policy in Windows 11 without manually setting it up for every machine locally?
We use a logon script for some things like network folder mapping and a few settings, but it's cumbersome to maintain and I would rather use a more modern and unified way for setups.

From the outside, this comes across more reactive than planned Let’s see what happens next.

Putting bias aside, this feels more about execution than intent which turns this into more of a debate

On the surface, the wording alone shifts how people read this which makes the reaction pretty predictable Others will probably see it differently.

there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which turns this into more of a debate Not convinced this is settled yet.

the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here Hard to say where this lands long term.

Bluntly speaking, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why the comments look the way they do Interested to see the follow-up.

Without overthinking it, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s the key detail here. At least from my perspective.
