There are two kinds of Group Policy objects. Non-local Group Policy objects,
which are stored on a domain controller, are available only in an Active
Directory environment. They apply to users and computers in the site,
domain, or organizational unit with which the Group Policy object is
associated.
Local Group Policy objects are stored on each computer running Windows 2000.
Only one local Group Policy object exists on a computer, and it has a subset
of the settings available in a nonlocal Group Policy object. Local Group
Policy object settings can be overwritten by nonlocal settings if they are
in conflict; otherwise, both apply.

their definitions, that you can control in a Group Policy?
