1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:07,140 Some words about benefits or fears in group policy group policy the powerful administrative tool you 2 00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:14,160 can use GPO always to push various settings to a large number of users and computers because you can 3 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,420 apply them to different levels from local computer to domain. 4 00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:21,830 You also can focus this sentence precisely. 5 00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:29,250 Primarily you use group policy to configure settings that you do not want to be configured by users. 6 00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:37,440 Additionally you can use group policy to standardize desktop environments on all computers in an o you 7 00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:40,440 or in an entire organization. 8 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:47,100 You also can use group policy to provide additional security to configure some advance system settings 9 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,250 and some more purposes which will review a bit later. 10 00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:57,000 So now let's review some of the benefits plan security settings in the Windows Server 2016 operating 11 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,620 system GPO. 12 00:00:58,650 --> 00:01:05,870 Include a large number of security related settings that you can apply to both users and computers. 13 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:12,600 For example you can enforce Saturns for Windows Firewall and you can configure audit and other security 14 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,210 settings. 15 00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:16,970 You also can configure full sets of user rights assignments. 16 00:01:16,980 --> 00:01:21,080 The next benefit is managing desktop and application settings. 17 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,690 You can use group policy to provide a consistent desktop and application environment for all users in 18 00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:30,450 your organization by using GPO. 19 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,810 You can configure each set and that affects the look and feel of the user environment. 20 00:01:35,820 --> 00:01:42,060 You also can configure settings for some applications that support GPO and other benefits of user group 21 00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:42,830 policies. 22 00:01:42,850 --> 00:01:48,270 Deploying software with group policy you can deploy software to use our sound computers. 23 00:01:48,270 --> 00:01:54,480 You can use group policy to deploy all software that is available in the DOD MSA format. 24 00:01:54,510 --> 00:02:00,600 Additionally you can enforce automatic software installation or you can let users decide whether they 25 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:07,680 want the software to deploy to their computers but also know that deploying large software packages 26 00:02:07,710 --> 00:02:14,490 with GPO shows might not be the most efficient way to distribute an application to your organization's 27 00:02:14,490 --> 00:02:15,520 computers. 28 00:02:15,540 --> 00:02:22,800 In many circumstances it might be more effective to distribute applications as part of the desktop computer 29 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,400 image. 30 00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:29,880 So the next benefit of group policy is manage in a folder redirection with the file folder redirection 31 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:30,470 option. 32 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:37,890 It is easier to backup users data files by redirect and folders you also ensure that users have access 33 00:02:37,890 --> 00:02:42,420 to their data regardless of the computer they sign in on. 34 00:02:42,690 --> 00:02:49,590 Additionally you can centralize all user data to one place on a network server while still providing 35 00:02:49,590 --> 00:02:55,350 a user experience that is similar to storing their folders on their computers. 36 00:02:55,350 --> 00:03:02,700 For example you can configure folder redirection to redirect users documents folder to a shared folder 37 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,090 on a network server. 38 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:10,020 Another benefit of group policy is configure and network settings by using group policy you can configure 39 00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:12,910 various network so on client computers. 40 00:03:12,930 --> 00:03:20,310 For example you can inform settings to use wireless network to allow users to connect only to specific 41 00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:26,690 service set identifiers and with predefined authentication and encryption settings. 42 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:33,720 You also can deploy policies that apply to wired network servants and some Windows Server 2016 rolls 43 00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:39,150 use group policy to configure the client side of services such as direct access.
