• Tags:

Overview The Group Policy feature in Windows 2000, XP and Windows Server 2003 provides powerful capabilities for automatically managing and configuring servers and workstations in large, distributed Windows environments. Unfortunately, the complexity of Group Policy, with all of its available policy options, has a tendency to discourage enterprises from taking full advantage of this powerful technology. This paper discusses the architecture and function of Group Policy and how to optimize it to fortify the security and usability of an environment. To take full advantage of Group Policy requires proper knowledge of best practices and tools to ensure consistent, expected application of policy. This paper will provide those best practices and illustrate how Quest Software's Group Policy management tools maximize the return on investment in a Windows infrastructure.
