Hi,

I was wondering if there is a reccommended maximum amount of group policy
objects (GPO) one should adhere to. I am using a windows 2003 AD enviroment
across 60 branch office and I want to set different sus times for each region
(5 regions), so I have to create 5 different GPOs and assign them
accordingly. Is it possible to create say 100 gpos? I was also planning on
doing software deployment for the Symantec Anti Virus via gpo as it has an
msi installer so I would need to speicfy different settings in the symantec
client for each region(5). I need to specify 5 different gpos with 5
different packages. so now I have created 10 gpos for the sus and symantec
combined. Is this correct.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanking You
Elvis
 
Maximum number of GPO's is relative on Numbers of Servers, and Connections
between the office. Hundreds of GPO's should be a reasonable limit.

As for your symantec roll out, i've done this via GPO and should work well.
The console install for symantec leaves a lot to be desired.
