In view of what is the basic knowledge of group policy and group policy editor, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and answer in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and feasible method.

Use Group Policy

In MicrosoftWindowsXP, you can use Group Policy to define user and computer configurations for users and computer groups. By using the Group Policy MicrosoftManagementConsole (MMC) snap-in, you can create specific desktop configurations for specific users and computer groups. The Group Policy settings you create are contained in the Group Policy object, which in turn is associated with the selected ActiveDirectory container, such as a site, domain, or organizational unit (OU). Using the Group Policy snap-in, you can specify policy settings for:

? Registry-based policies.

Includes group policies for the WindowsXP operating system and its components, as well as for all programs. To manage these settings, use the Administrative templates node of the Group Policy snap-in.

? Security options.

Includes options for local computer, domain, and network security settings.

? Software installation and maintenance options.

Used to centrally manage the installation, update, and removal of programs.

? Script options.

Includes scripts for computer startup and shutdown and user login and logout.

? Folder redirection options.

These options allow administrators to redirect users' special folders to the network.

Using Group Policy, you can define the status of the user's work environment at once, and you can rely on the system to enforce the policies you define later.

How to use the Group Policy Editor

The Group Policy snap-in consists of the following main branches:? Computer configuration

Administrators can use computer configuration to set policies that apply to computers, regardless of who logs on to the computer. Computer configuration typically contains software settings, Windows settings, and children of administrative templates.

? User configuration

Administrators can use user configuration to set policies that apply to users, regardless of which computer they log on to. User configuration typically contains software settings, Windows settings, and children of administrative templates.

To use the Group Policy Editor, follow these steps: 1. Expand the required GPO. For example, local computer policy.

two。 Expand the desired configuration item. For example, computer configuration.
