“ I have had a hundred A‐HA moments during this course. The best moment for me was when I found
out that with the GPPE's I could reset a LOCAL user account password!!! Unfortunately someone in our
domain leaked the local admin password to everyone. With over 5000 computers, that is a lot of wasted
time to reset the password. Thank YOU for showing me how to do this. Thanks again for the wonderful
class! ”

Mark Olszewski, State of Montana

“ This book is, without a doubt, the best technical reference book I've ever read. The concepts are explained clearly and thoroughly. The examples are relevant to almost every production environment. Want to know how to get the most out of the new GPMC? It's explained in detail in the book. Not sure how you can handle printer mappings through GP? It's in the book, with a real world example and a VB script to help out. Need help determining how to handle profiles and folder redirection? There are entire chapters dedicated to this very topic. If you are struggling with how to make use of Group Policy to manage your desktop and server environment, BUY THIS BOOK. NOW!!!!! ”

BOF920 Let's Get Real: What Are "The" Best Practices for Windows Group Policies?
Friday, June 13 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM 
Moderator: Jerome (Jerry) Cruz
Session Type: Birds of a Feather


3000+ configurable settings with Windows Server 2008 (and almost that many with Windows Vista) and now they add Group Policy Preference Extensions, why that's 21 "brand new" sets of things to configure. What's an Admin to do and where do we start? Should I script it or build an ADM template? Or is that an ADMX template? Any pros or cons to choosing between them? Can I set something up with a GPO, but still allow my users to have "some" choice? How do I do that? Rocket Science seems easier than this. So, last year we talked about what new things we wanted in the area of Group Policies. Well, we got a lot of it, now what can we do with it? Let's discuss what the "New Best Practices" for Group Policies are!

 
Big day in GPanswers.com Land !
May 14, 2008

Hey Team.. Jeremy here.

Good news and better news !

The good news is that we just went LIVE with the new GPanswers.com web site.

Notice anything? Well, there are some key changes, but the most important one is that you'll now need a log-in ID to access some of the material. Just register, confirm your email, and you're golden ! Totally free; but it's how this new system works.

The other good news is that I got the new GREEN BOOK. I got two cases in stock, and about  a fifth of the pre-orders got theirs shipped. I expect the other remaining six cases to come THIS WEEK, so I'll get them out the door just as fast a possible.

Thanks for being part of the GPanswers.com team !
