Expanding knowledge of Group Policy

[Jordan]

Hello,

Where can I get a good reference to start learning more
practises and procedures to group policy? It has been a
while since I have played with it in college, and now I
have windows 2003 boxes, but I have not applied group
policy settings to them, so I would like to start putting
more features/restrictions on them.

Regards,
Jordan

Hi Jordan

Windows Help is a good resource. The following might be useful to you also:

There's plenty on the Microsoft web site too.

Kind regards

See the Windows 2003 Deployment Kit. You can download the whole thing or
individual chapters. In particular see the section on "Designing a Managed
Environment" in the link below. Make sure you install the Group Policy
Management Console right away as it is a whole lot better than the old way
used in W2K. The Windows 2003 Security Guide is a must read in my opinion
also, much of which is based on using Group Policy and security
emplates.. --- Steve
