One, what IS Group Policy

(i) What is the use of Group Policy?

When it comes to Group Policy, you have to mention the registry. The registry is a database of system and application software configuration in Windows System, and with more and more features of Windows, there are more and more configuration items in the registration table. Many configurations are customizable, but these configurations are published in every corner of the registry and, if it is manually configured, how difficult and tumultuous it is to be. Group Policy, however, integrates the important configuration functions of the system into various configuration modules for direct use by managers so as to facilitate the management of computers.

To put it simply, Group Policy is to modify the configuration in the registry. Of course, Group Policy uses its own more perfect management organization method, can manage and configure the settings of various objects, far more convenient, flexible and powerful than manual modification of registry.

(ii) version of Group Policy

Most Windows 9X/NT users may have heard the concept of "system policy," and most of us now hear the name "Group Policy." In fact, Group Policy is a more advanced extension of system Policy, which is developed by Windows 9x/nt's "System Policy", with more administrative templates and more flexible settings objects and more features that are currently used primarily in Windows 2000/xp/2003 systems.

The mechanism of early system policy is to define specific, through policy management templates. POL (usually Config.pol) file. When a user logs on, it overrides the setting value in the registry. Of course, the System Policy Editor also supports modifications to the current registry, and it also supports connecting network computers and setting up their registry. Group Policy and its tools, however, make direct modifications to the current registry. Obviously, the network function of the Windows 2000/xp/2003 system is its biggest characteristic, its network function is naturally essential, so the Group Policy tool can also open the computer on the network to configure, can even open an active Directory object (that is, the site, Domain or organizational unit) and set it. This is not possible in the previous System Policy Editor tool.
