Summary
Group policies are one of the core values of the AD environment. As long as they are designed and maintained properly, they can be used to manage computer and user settings effectively. In this chapter, we learned about Group Policy components and their capabilities. This was followed by explaining features that can be used to design and maintain a healthy Group Policy structure. We also learned about Group Policy designing best practices. In the last section, we went through some useful group policies.
In the next chapter, we are moving on to the third part of this book, which will focus on Active Directory server roles. In this part, you will learn about the advanced features of AD DS, including schemas, replication, the read-only domain controller (RODC), and Active Directory recovery.
