PAWS is a cool tool for automating Windows deployments for testing purposes. We may be able to use it to automate the Active Directory tests for Server (that we currently have to run manually). We should try and find some time to work on that. We'd also have to check the legalities with someone, possibly, though I think it should be OK / legal to do this using a 90-day evaluation copy of Windows, which Microsoft seems happy to give away; each test would start from a stashed base qcow image and live for only an hour or so.

update: I'm currently working on implementing AD testing using Samba AD instead, because we've just never practically managed to get any traction with automating it on Windows. @tflink was looking into the legalities of the Windows approach with RH legal internally (thanks tflink!) but I really just want to bust something out at this point.
As of this afternoon I have the Samba AD server deployment test working and the simplest enrolment test (realmd_join_sssd) working against it - https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/3003759# . I just need to extend it to test kickstart and cockpit enrolment, and implement enough client-side testing to satisfy the criteria. Will work on it more tomorrow. Code is in the samba-ad branch of os-autoinst-distri-fedora.
