I just upgraded to Active Directory, still sitting in Mixed Mode at the
moment, but I want to start configuring a Group Policy.
Mode is practically irrelevant to Group Policy since it affects only the
DCs and the capabilities of AD itself.
You can however switch to Native mode if you will never install a BDC
running NT4 in the future (which seems unlikely.)
Does anyone know any sites that explains everything in Group Policy and
kind of helps you create templates and such?? Thanks for any help
You might just start with the Built-In Help.
Group Policies (or Group Policy Objects: GPOs) can control practically
anything* given enough determination by the admin but already have a large
number of pre-built settings (or templates) built into the default GPO
documents.
*In addition to the built-in slots, you can add registry settings through
the
administrative templates area (the Microsoft Office admin site has some
samples of these you can add) and anything that can be done with a script
file can be accomplished using the Logon/Logoff or Startup/Shutdown
scripts.
It really comes down to WHAT do YOU wish to do?
