Managing Windows Vista Group Policy (Part 2) 2006-12-06 01:00:24 TechGenix

Windows Vista includes some important changes from earlier Windows operating systems in regards to Group Policy (GP). This paper introduces the reader to how Multiple Local Group Policy Objects (MLGPO) can make any 'Stand-alone', or 'Kiosk', administrator happy. Typically MLGPOs will be used in non-Active Directory environments where the user have standalone or workgroup computers, and the great thing is that it now supports different policy configurations for "Administrators" and "Non-Administrators" ("Limited users") and even specific policy settings for individual users! If a given user is not a member of the "Administrators" group, then the user is automatically considered a "Non-administrator", which is actually not a security group in itself. The paper covers multiple local group policy objects.
