Understnading how to build, configure and user Active Directory is an essential skill that all IT Techs and Professionals need to have.

Why is knowing Group Policy managment important?

Group Policies and AD work hand-in-hand. Once AD has been configured, and computers on your network are bound to AD, the next step is setting up Group Policies.

Group Policies make the management of PC security setting and preferences easy. You can literally create a group policy and then push it out against a fleet of comptuers on a AD domain network. All these computers will get those settings applied over the network, without the need to update setting on a computer-by-computer basis. It’s great!
