Study Notes
Group Policy Overview
- Group Policies manage user and computer configurations in an organization.
- Two forms of Group Policies exist: Local Group Policy and Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) Group Policy.
- Purpose includes enforcing security standards and establishing configuration consistency.
Local Group Policy
- Applies solely to the computer where it is configured.
- Administered using the Local Group Policy Editor.
Active Directory Group Policy
- Applies to domain users and computers.
- Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are collections of policy settings that must be linked to an Organizational Unit (OU) to take effect.
- Inheritance of GPOs allows higher-level policies to influence child OUs, unless inheritance is blocked.
GPO Configuration Tools
- Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) is used for configuring and modifying Group Policy settings.
Types of Policies
- Group Policies: Enforced and often involve registry changes, affecting system settings, security, and software configurations.
- Group Policy Preferences: Less rigid than Group Policies; users can modify settings unless specifically restricted.
- Subtypes: Software Settings, Windows Settings, and Administrative Templates.
Policy Configuration Options
- 'Not Configured' leaves the policy at vendor/manufacturer defaults.
- 'Enabled' activates the policy, applying its settings.
- 'Disabled' ensures the policy settings are not enforced.
- 'Options' provides additional settings details for the policy.
- 'Comment' field offers a description or note regarding the policy.
- 'Supported On' specifies applicable operating systems for the policy.
Conflict Resolution and Order of Application
- GPOs are applied in the order of LSDOU (Local, Site, Domain, Organizational Unit) to mitigate conflicts.
- When GPO inheritance is blocked for a child OU, only directly linked GPOs apply.
- Enforcement of GPOs guarantees policies remain effective even against conflicting higher-level GPOs.
Default Domain Policy
- A special GPO meant to establish baseline security settings across the domain, including password policies.
Creating and Applying GPOs
- To use a new or custom GPO, it must first be created and linked to an OU.
- The number of GPOs created is limited only by system performance constraints.
Additional Insights
- GPO preferences are not strictly enforced and can be changed by users, unlike Group Policies.
- Regular update intervals are crucial for keeping Group Policies current and relevant.
