Some words about benefits or fears in group policy group policy the powerful administrative tool you
can use GPO always to push various settings to a large number of users and computers because you can
apply them to different levels from local computer to domain.
You also can focus this sentence precisely.
Primarily you use group policy to configure settings that you do not want to be configured by users.
Additionally you can use group policy to standardize desktop environments on all computers in an o you
or in an entire organization.
You also can use group policy to provide additional security to configure some advance system settings
and some more purposes which will review a bit later.
So now let's review some of the benefits plan security settings in the Windows Server 2016 operating
system GPO.
Include a large number of security related settings that you can apply to both users and computers.
For example you can enforce Saturns for Windows Firewall and you can configure audit and other security
settings.
You also can configure full sets of user rights assignments.
The next benefit is managing desktop and application settings.
You can use group policy to provide a consistent desktop and application environment for all users in
your organization by using GPO.
You can configure each set and that affects the look and feel of the user environment.
You also can configure settings for some applications that support GPO and other benefits of user group
policies.
Deploying software with group policy you can deploy software to use our sound computers.
You can use group policy to deploy all software that is available in the DOD MSA format.
Additionally you can enforce automatic software installation or you can let users decide whether they
want the software to deploy to their computers but also know that deploying large software packages
with GPO shows might not be the most efficient way to distribute an application to your organization's
computers.
In many circumstances it might be more effective to distribute applications as part of the desktop computer
image.
So the next benefit of group policy is manage in a folder redirection with the file folder redirection
option.
It is easier to backup users data files by redirect and folders you also ensure that users have access
to their data regardless of the computer they sign in on.
Additionally you can centralize all user data to one place on a network server while still providing
a user experience that is similar to storing their folders on their computers.
For example you can configure folder redirection to redirect users documents folder to a shared folder
on a network server.
Another benefit of group policy is configure and network settings by using group policy you can configure
various network so on client computers.
For example you can inform settings to use wireless network to allow users to connect only to specific
service set identifiers and with predefined authentication and encryption settings.
You also can deploy policies that apply to wired network servants and some Windows Server 2016 rolls
use group policy to configure the client side of services such as direct access.
