Group Policy

Group Policy and Group Policy objects are often one of the least understood parts of an Active Directory deployment. They are a powerful tool that can allow you to control centrally all parts of your infrastructure touching the user experience, the desktop and your server components. Due to their power and the reach, Group Policies can cause a lot of damage if configured incorrectly.

Common Group Policy Issues

The main issues Embrionic consultants normally find themselves addressing include:

• How to extend Group Policy settings

• Where to apply them and to how many levels

• SID Filtering and WMI Filtering

• GPO repercussions on SYSVOL

• Version control and release management

• Recommended practice for applying, delegating and backing up GPOs

• Undesired Resultant Policy sets
