Implementing Group Policy

Rating: (0)

Over the past several weeks, I have provided an overview of Group Policy and explained how you can use it for everything from distributing software to securing your network environment. Microsoft has built a tremendous amount of capability into Group Policy, and it's a technology that requires a thorough understanding and a great deal of planning before you implement it. I could spend several weeks delving deeper into Group Policy without giving it the full coverage that it warrants. Because we don't have that time, I'll conclude the series this week by focusing on some of the planning and technical issues that you need to be aware of before you get started with Group Policy.

I face this problem and cannot solved. pls any one help

I have gone to the Server and created an OU. I then created a user called "test" within that OU. I then went to the properties of the OU, Group Policies tab of the properties and created a GPO with some very simple configs for testing (disabled the "My Documents" folder on the desk top. When I go to a win2000 client machine and log on as user Test the GPO doesn't get applied. I have even used the gpresult tool and it looks like only the local policies are being applied. Do you know what might possibly have been missed? Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

Hello, I need to add proxy exceptions to a GPO. However, when I add the machine accounts it's not taking affect. I believe I must some how link it to a group and add the users?

Hi I would like to add an additional admin in our domain to administer our web servers only. I created a OU and added the servers and that admin to that OU. How do I create the GPO to give that user admin privs on the webservers only in our domain. Any help would be appreciated,
Scott
