GPA - GP Answers - Group Policy

“ Absolutely, your class has been full of great takeaways that will truly benefit our organization immediately.
Our organization has been utilizing Group Policy for approximately three years now and it's always been a mystery as to whether or not we are truly getting the most out of this powerful toolset. Jeremy's courses offer very clear and concise instruction with a completely hands on approach. After hearing Jeremy speak, I immediately identified that the policies in our organization are far too bloated. We've always assumed that the fewer policies applied to our workstations the better, however, when problems arise it can be very difficult to troubleshoot one policy with many settings in both user and computer configurations.
Our organization also has several kiosk‐type workstations that our field technicians dread dealing with because they are locked out of everything. Now I have the knowledge to specifically deny our field technicians from having the policy(s) apply to them so they can work quickly, efficiently, and with less frustration. That's a big win for all!
I'm also confident in saying that I know what the loopback policy is doing! This has been an enigma since we move to Active Directory. Most explanations about how the loopback policy works are so elusive and convoluted I wasn't sure what to believe anymore. Jeremy was able to sum it up in 10 minutes in terms that I could understand.
Thanks for your high energy, teamwork, and for providing a positive learning environment! ”

“ After hearing Jeremy speak, I was immediately able to confidently use GPMC, and successfully deploy many GPO's which have saved my sanity and added years to my life. Having a copy of Jeremy's Group policy, Profiles, and IntelliMirror book on hand has given me instant access to many of those "How does this work in the real world?" questions. Thanks Jeremy, You are awesome! ”

“ I finally figured out how we would block out USB ports and games and lockdown users. This alone made the entire class an extremely valuable and fun learning experience. I learned how to use Vista’s event viewer to track a single event in group policy ‐ so easy but powerful! I learned how to set up various restrictions on a PC for different users. A tremendously valuable feature! I cannot wait to get back to the office and implement what I have learned. I highly recommend the whole week to anyone who has anything to do with Group Policy. Nothing beats these classes, nothing. ”
