Mastering Windows Group Policy

Left arrow icon Right arrow icon

Description

This book begins with a discussion of the core material any administrator needs to know in order to start working with Group Policy. Moving on, we will also walk through the process of building a lab environment to start testing Group Policy today. Next we will explore the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) and start using the powerful features available for us within that interface. Once you are well versed with using GPMC, you will learn to perform and manage the traditional core tasks inside Group Policy. Included in the book are many examples and walk-throughs of the different filtering options available for the application of Group Policy settings, as this is the real power that Group Policy holds within your network. You will also learn how you can use Group Policy to secure your Active Directory environment, and also understand how Group Policy preferences are different than policies, with the help of real-world examples. Finally we will spend some time on maintenance and troubleshooting common Group Policy-related issues so that you, as a directory administrator, will understand the diagnosing process for policy settings. By the end of the book, you will be able to jump right in and use Group Policy to its full potential.

What you will learn

  • Become familiar with the Group Policy Management Console
  • Create, link, and filter new policies
  • Secure your users and devices using Group Policy
  • Maintain and troubleshoot Group Policy
  • Administer Group Policy via PowerShell
  • Control your Active Directory environment efficiently with Group Policy settings

Jordan Krause is my favorite technical author, as he writes extremely well, with a great sense of humor. Although a 30+ year veteran in IT, I come away from his books with valuable insights and knowledge, plus it is nice to get affirmation of some things I've been doing correctly all along. I would also highly recommend his book on Server 2019 if that is in your future.

explained why we were having an issue with File explorer closing unexpectedly, we use GPO a lot and our GURU had used "Replace" for the Mapped Drives. So about every 90 minutes, if a User had a folder on the Mapped Drives open, File Explorer closed as "Replace" means "delete, then add". Whereas "Update" means, if it is not there, add, if it is and the same NO NOTHING, else change. Explains what the "Icons" in GPO mean. Worth the price several time over.
