Windows Server Group Policy

Windows Server Group Policy

Group Policy and the Active Directory services infrastructure enable IT administrators to automate one-to-many management of users and computers—simplifying administrative tasks and reducing IT costs. Administrators can efficiently implement security settings, enforce IT policies, and distribute software consistently across a given site, domain, or range of organizational units.
