Damn right, I wouldn't expect anything less, especially after repeat attempts, and a lack of remourse.

I'd ban them from more than that.

Comcast touts 4Gbps cable uploads in lab test, still limits users to 35Mbps
Lab test produces 4Gbps upload speeds but actual uploads are still 3 to 35Mbps.
Comcast today offered the latest hint of a future in which its cable customers won't be limited to 35Mbps upload speeds. Announcing a recent lab test, Comcast said its research team "deliver[ed] upstream and downstream throughputs of greater than 4Gbps" and that "future optimization" will allow "even greater capacity." This was "the first-ever live lab test" of a Broadcom "system-on-chip (SOC) device that will pave the way for Comcast to deliver multigigabit upload and download speeds over its hybrid-fiber coaxial (HFC) network," Comcast said. It won't require installation of more cables because the "technology works using the same types of connections already installed in hundreds of millions of homes worldwide," Comcast said. -
@mlnews assuming that their users are even online!

Intresting:
Active Directory: Bridging the gap between system administrators and Linux developersUbuntu machines can join an Active Directory (AD) domain at installation for central configuration. AD administrators can now manage Ubuntu workstations, which simplifies compliance with company policies.
Ubuntu 21.04 adds the ability to configure system settings from an AD domain controller. Using a Group Policy Client, system administrators can specify security policies on all connected clients, such as password policies and user access control, and Desktop environment settings, such as login screen, background and favourite apps.

@black3dynamite and will be able to install MSSQL. Looks like an enterprise path they are going down. Awesome for us, especially after the shit news of RHEL/Centos shitting on everyone. Hopefully canonical will keep to their releases and push more people from centos over to them, I have had no issues and mostly run ubuntu server for most of my servers.

They can all join an AD domain. I don't know how hard it would be to manage settings on them tho. In theory it should be easy as you can modify any settings file you want with a script, but theory is rarely reality.

Don't believe so. Joining AD, sure, everyone does that. But having a custom set of GPOs that it will use? No, that's a first AFAIK.
