1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,480 Computer configuration and user configuration. 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,870 There are two major divisions of policy settings computer settings which are contained in the computer 3 00:00:09,870 --> 00:00:15,730 configuration node and to use a resurgence which are contained in the user configuration node. 4 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:22,970 The computer configuration node contains assets that are applied to computers regardless of who logs 5 00:00:22,970 --> 00:00:23,920 on to them. 6 00:00:23,950 --> 00:00:32,130 Computer settings apply when the operating system starts during background refreshes and every 90 to 7 00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:40,920 120 minutes thereafter the user configuration node contains settings that apply when a particular user 8 00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:49,110 science into the computer during background refreshes and every ninety two hundred and twenty minutes 9 00:00:49,170 --> 00:00:57,560 thereafter within the computer configuration and user configuration nodes are their policies and references 10 00:00:57,570 --> 00:01:04,860 nodes within the policies nodes under their computer configuration node and the user configuration node 11 00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:12,390 are a hierarchy of folders that contain policies settings because there are thousands of settings it 12 00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:19,110 is beyond the scope of this course to examine individual settings however it is worthwhile to define 13 00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:25,680 the broad categories of settings in the folders the software settings note the software settings. 14 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,580 Note in the first note and it contains only the software installation extension which helps you specify 15 00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:37,660 how your organ organization installs and maintains its applications. 16 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:44,190 The next one is a Windows certain snowed in both the computer configuration and user configuration notes 17 00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:51,540 the policies node container the window set in stone which includes the scripts security settings and 18 00:01:51,540 --> 00:01:53,740 policy based was nodes. 19 00:01:53,760 --> 00:02:00,570 It also contains their name resolution policy folder that contains settings for configure and direct 20 00:02:00,570 --> 00:02:08,120 access to scripts note with the script extension you can specify two types of scripts start up and shot 21 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:14,980 down scripts in the computer configuration node and log on and log off scripts in the user configuration. 22 00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:22,560 No startup and shut down scripts run at computer a startup or shut down log on and log off scripts rather 23 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,150 than a user assigned scene or science out. 24 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:32,180 When you assign multiple log on and log off or start up and shutdown scripts to a user a computer. 25 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,970 This group's client site extension executes the scripts from the top to the bottom of the list. 26 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,600 You can determine the order of execution for multiple scripts in the properties dialog box. 27 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:52,770 When a computer is shut down the client side extension or see as a forest processors log off scripts 28 00:02:52,890 --> 00:03:00,170 followed by shutdowns gripped by default the timeout value of processing scripts is 10 minutes if they'll 29 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,710 go off and shutdown scripts require more than 10 minutes to process. 30 00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:08,730 You must adjust the time out while well with a policy setting. 31 00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:13,290 You can use an active fixed scripting language to write scripts. 32 00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:21,390 Some possibilities include Microsoft Visual Basic script and JS grip Perl and most style based files 33 00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:25,050 log on scripts on a shared network directory. 34 00:03:25,050 --> 00:03:30,080 In another forest are supported for network log on across forests. 35 00:03:30,090 --> 00:03:37,380 Windows 7 Windows 8 and Windows 10 all support Windows power shall command line interface scripts. 36 00:03:37,410 --> 00:03:44,390 Let's move on to the next node and it is security settings note by using the security settings node 37 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,320 as security administrator can configure security with GPO. 38 00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:56,610 You can do this after or instead of using a security template to configure system security. 39 00:03:56,610 --> 00:04:04,050 The next one is the policy based was known this quality of service was known known as the policy based 40 00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:05,640 was node defines. 41 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,340 Policies that manage network traffic. 42 00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:15,450 For example you might want to ensure that the users in the finance department have priority to run a 43 00:04:15,450 --> 00:04:21,030 critical network application during the end of year financial reporting period. 44 00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:26,160 You can do that by using the policy based was not in the user configuration. 45 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:33,580 Note Only the vendor settings folder contains the additional folder redirection node with folder redirection 46 00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:41,880 you can redirect to user data and settings folder such as app data desktop documents pictures music 47 00:04:41,890 --> 00:04:48,810 etc. from their default user profile location to an alternate location of the network where you can 48 00:04:48,810 --> 00:04:55,290 manage them centrally the next note is administrative templates node and the computer configuration 49 00:04:55,290 --> 00:05:01,610 and user configuration nodes note the administrative templates node contains the registry based group 50 00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:02,740 policy settings. 51 00:05:02,750 --> 00:05:09,000 There are thousands of such settings available for configuring the user and computer environment. 52 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:15,440 As an administrator you might spend a significant amount of time modifying these settings to assist 53 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,790 you with the settings. 54 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:23,600 A description of each policy setting is available in two location on the explained tap in the properties 55 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,370 dialog box for the setting. 56 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:32,300 Additionally the settings step in the properties dialog box for each set and also lists the required 57 00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:38,400 operating system or software for the setting and all the extended tap of the group. 58 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:45,890 Policy Management Ed window the extended tab which appears on the lower right of the detail Spain requires 59 00:05:46,010 --> 00:05:53,300 a description of each selected set in in a column between the console 3 and the set in Spain. 60 00:05:53,330 --> 00:05:58,500 Also it lists the required operating system or software for each setting. 61 00:05:58,550 --> 00:06:04,250 You can use the GP update command to initiate a group poll a refresh. 62 00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:11,630 You'll learn more about GP updates later in this course to verify which GP always and settings apply 63 00:06:11,630 --> 00:06:13,340 to a computer and user. 64 00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:20,480 You can use the GP results come out the GP results command can show more or less detailed dependent 65 00:06:20,750 --> 00:06:22,700 on the options that you try.
