Add wins at the end of this line. IIRC we recently had a discussion to

It would make sense. After all the work to set up letting a machine join
the AD, it seems odd to leave this undone. Granted they are really
different things. But still, it would make sense that if YaST is doing
part of the work, it should do the rest. Or, as a minimum, in the info
panel to the left, tell which obvious things are not being done. That is
always the trick with using auto setups like YaST (but not at all
exclusive to YaST): knowing how much they did and how much they did not
do. All the time saved in letting them set up something that is tricky
is often then lost trying to figure out which things they did not do.
