Adjust multicast DNS timeout for .local domain

Enable this Group Policy to configure multicast DNS timeout for computers in a .local domain. It improves the response time of mounting a network share and network user logon.

If this policy is not configured, the default behaviour is to automatically set the value to 1 on client computer.

This policy overrides the following settings in /etc/centrifydc/centrifydc.conf on client computer.
- mac.network.autoedit.mdns_timeout
- mac.network.mdns_timeout

To prohibit Centrify DC from changing the timeout value, configure this policy to "Disabled".

Once enabled, this policy will take effect after restarting the client computer.
