Group policy preferences include more than 20 group policy extensions that expand the range of configurable
Saturns within a GPO.
You can use group policy preferences to apply a number of Saturns that previously applied to scripts
such as Drive Mappings and shared printers.
Windows operating systems later than Windows Server 2008 and two Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and newer
operating systems natively support group policy preferences.
Examples of group policy extensions and group policy preferences are as follows.
Folder options drive.
Maps registry short cards and tourists schedule tasks.
Services and start manual configure and group policy preferences does not require any special tools
or software installation group policy preferences are native parts of JPM C and Windows Server 2008
and newer and they apply in the same manner as group policies sentence by default preferences have two
distinct sections window sentence and control panel sentence when you configure a new preference you
can perform the fallen for basic actions for the user or computer.
You can create delete replace and update.
So create creates a new preference sentence delete removes an extra existing preference certain replace
delete sound recreate a reference certain The result is that group policy preferences replace all existing
sentence and files associated with a preference item and update option modifies an existing preference
certain no group policy preferences are similar to group policies sadness in that they apply configurations
to the user or computer.
However there are several differences in the way that you can configure and apply them.
One of these differences is that preferences are not enforced although you can configure them to reapply
automatically.
Let's have a look at other differences between group policies servants and group policy preferences.
Preferences are not enforced as they've said group policies sentence effectively disable the user interface
for any sentence that the user manages while preferences do not do this.
Group Policies settings can apply at regular intervals.
However you can configure preferences to apply once only or at the same intervals as group policies
settings and users can change any preference sentence that applies through group policy but group policies
settings prevent users from changing them.
In some cases you can configure the same sentence through our policy setting and a reference item.
If conflicting preference sound group policies settings config around to apply to the same object the
value of the policies set in.
All this applies.
Please note that while the group policies set and effectively disables the user interface for a given
set and if the user has the ability to edit the registry the user can alter the certain.
