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! ”

“ [I] used the tools he demonstrated and those tools saved me a lot of time and money. ”

“ I’m a [Federal] employee who took your course through [our IT offices] a couple of years ago (or less). Just wanted to say thanks so much for the excellent training because I finally had a chance to use it in depth for the first time (had done a few MINOR GPO tasks previously) and was able (with SOME guidance from others) to do what I needed to do based on what I learned in your class. FYI, we had to apply (with some editing) NIST policies to our PCs and I’m really grateful for having had the training with you because it came in VERY handy during this crunch to comply with OMB mandates to do this by Feb 4, 2008. Keep up the good work and I’ll encourage my staff to consider your training the next time you are in our neighborhood. ”
