Group Policy is a tool with which you and the settings of different components in the client computer (for Central) manage. Group Policy can be offline for Site, Domain is, OU or computers can be applied. Must make a specific set of a (GPO (Group Policy Object construction. A computer with Windows Server, by default, a Local Group Policy and a number NonLocal Group Policy can also be.

- Local Group Policy: Local knowledge must have a word with meaning, ie a Group Policy Local Group Policy on each computer to save himself when in fact such a method is Athaz Aktyvdayrktvry the environment are not domain. Local Group Policy only on a computer that is where is applied and nonLocal Group Policy is more preferable to have a Local Group Policy. Now if Aktyvdayrktvry domain environment, we nonLocal policy preferences are more on local politics. So important is when the local group policy on a computer network without Aktyvdayrktvry is present. Save this configuration Nahl Systemroot% \ System32 \ GroupPolicy% is.


- NonLocal Group Policy: This policy should be made in Aktyvdayrktvry to a site, domain, OU are related. By default, the installation Aktyvdayrktvry two Group Policy are made which include:

1. Default Domain Policy: This Syasyt on all computers, including domain, username and domain controllers apply.
2. Default Domain Controllers Policy: This policy on all Domain Controllers OU apply. I remember the account domain controllers on a separate ou Domain Controller name to be kept. If instead of sysvol folder is the default value, these policies in the% Systemroot% \ Sysvol \ Domain Name \ Policies \ GPO GUID \ Adm% in the GUID address is a unique ID.


Important: a GPO for a site that is defined on all computers that site apply. Thus, regardless of the domain member computer that has a Group Policy can be imposed. (Obviously they should be in a forest)

Group Policy Object Editor:
Group Policy change is a common tool. Although how this tool can open, it depends on where the policy is to be applied and what type of Group policy.

1. LGPO - Local Group Policy Objects:

- MMC in RUN and enter the file menu option Add / Remove Snap-In select.
- Standalone tab in the tab box Daylag Add / Remove Snap-In Click the Add button.
- Group Policy Object Editor and the Add Please note that Local Computer is selected.
- Finish with a shuffle, then press OK to close Daylag box.
* Using LGPO GPedit.msc can get into. Hence, sometimes instead of the word GPedit GPOE work are the same order is GPOE.

2. LGPO on another computer:

3. GPO on a site:

Set Group Policy:
There are two different settings in the console tree GPOE provides good separation. Computer Configuration and User Configuration. As the name is obvious, Computer Configuration apply to computers without paying attention to who uses the computer. User Configuration apply to users regardless of what the computer uses. Some settings only User and some is only applicable to the Computer. Hence, the ability to find preferences among thousands of different items seems difficult. But the tree GPOE well designed and can be acceptable when an item without an exact location, it finds. A non-precise numbers regarding the number of items in this tale that Windows Vista and Server 2008 close to 3000 different items there and in Windows 3000 Item 7 of the border will be passed. It certainly can not be a 3000 option to be a review. Here are the different parts in each group will examine. If you do not Aktyvdayrktvry environment many items will not have access.
A.. Software Settings: User Configuration in both Software Installation and Computer configuration settings are available. The detail on this issue has been spoken here.


B. Windows Settings:

- Scripts: This group includes both settings, but in the Computer Configuration script at the time you turn on / turn off the computer and run set in the User Configuration part of the script when you login / logout runs your pen. Note that first and then the Startup Script Logon Script will be run like this first and then Log off Script Shut down Script. Another point is that if several different Script is set to Windows in order from top to bottom list will run scripts. Another significant issue is that the default maximum script execution time is 10 minutes. Shut down and log off if the script on each other when more than 10 minutes need to get comfortable with the Software Policy of this time change. ActiveX Scirpt any language can be used. Version of Microsoft Visual Basic scripting (VBScript) or MicrosoftJScript or Batch file is (bat. * and cmd .*) are supported.
