Group Policy Master Class (3 Days)
Most companies spend a fortune in planning and migrating to Active Directory. Then once they have Active Directory in place, the next logical question is “What do we do with it”?
Our training is hands-on to help you get the most of Active Directory, Group Policy, and Windows Server.

A class is declared on when you get the Welcome letter. A class needs 6 or 7 people paid up for a class to be declared on.
NO! Be sure you get the WELCOME LETTER which Officially Declares the class On. Only then is it appropriate to make travel arrangements.
Public classes are always taught by Jeremy Moskowitz. Private training is taught by either Jeremy or James.
You need a PC-based laptop pre-loaded with Windows 7 or greater. You need 4GB or more of RAM; 8GB recommended. You need about 100GB free space. You don't need to "pre-create" anything before coming to class; it's provided to you BEFORE showtime so you can be PREPARED before you arrive. Your machine needs to be 64-bit capable. There's a little test utility you can run to ensure your laptop is 64-bit capable. It's here: http://tinyurl.com/VMware64bitcheck. There is a LOT more information inside the welcome letter with a PDF attached called "Exactly How to Ensure Your Laptop Will be Prepared for Class." It's super clear, and even has a checklist.

We only have limited numbers of seats per class. A student is considered PAID if a credit card has been charged, or we have received a check, or we have an official PO. Only paid students are guaranteed seats.
- 4 weeks before a class starts = 100% refund
- 3 weeks before a class starts = 75% refund
- 2 weeks before a class starts = 50% refund
- Less than 2 weeks before a class starts = 0% refund
There is no penalty for substituting any student for another student up until the first day of class. This is NOT permitted "mid class."
Let's start out by saying, Jeremy has NEVER cancelled a class. But, anything is possible. And there is always a risk of the "unknown". Here are some examples of why a class could be cancelled:
- Four weeks before the class, he gets into a severe car accident.
- One week before the class, one of his parents dies.
- Three days before class, Jeremy loses his voice.
- One day before the class, a snowstorm or hurricane prevents flights from taking off or landing.
If anything like this happens, and Jeremy cancels a class, then you will be refunded your exact purchased price you paid for the class. You will NOT be refunded any travel expenses or incidental expenses which were to get you to the class. So if it cost you $1,000,000 to fly in to see Jeremy speak, he will not be reimbursing you the $1,000,000 it cost you for that plane ticket. Again: GPanswers.com and Jeremy's liability of class cancellation starts and ends with the exact purchase price you paid for the class in the event of a cancellation on our part. Refunds will be made in the exact manner that funds were taken. Credit cards will be refunded or checks will be re-cut. Again, we've never cancelled a class. But anything can happen. And this is our policy.
All classes (LIVE and ONLINE) come with a 100% money back guarantee. If after taking the classes, you don't genuinely feel that the class' value was 10x what you paid, we'll refund your fees, PLUS I'll give you $100 check made out to YOU (not your company) for wasting your time. That's how confident I am this class will work for you.
