Mastering Active Directory: Understand the Core Functionalities of Active Directory Services Using Microsoft Server 2016 and PowerShell
Reimagine your organization's security stance, desktop standards, and server administration with centralized management via Group Policy
Windows Group Policy is a powerful yet underutilized centralized management tool in corporate networks, and this Group Policy book will help you make better use of its impressive features. Mastering Windows Group Policy starts by taking you through the core material that an administrator needs to know in order to start working with Group Policy. You'll understand the process of building a lab environment for testing Group Policy. As you advance, you'll explore the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) and use the powerful features that its interface offers. Once you are well versed with using GPMC, you'll be able to perform and manage traditional core administration tasks.
By working through examples of different filtering options available for the application of Group Policy settings, you'll discover the power that Group Policy holds within your network. You'll even learn how you can secure your Active Directory environment, and understand how Group Policy preferences are different to default policies. Finally, the book delves into maintenance and guides you in troubleshooting common Group Policy-related issues.
By the end of the book, you'll have learned all that you need to use Group Policy to its full potential.
If you are an IT professional who works with Windows Servers or are interested in setting up an Active Directory environment, this book is for you. Basic knowledge of Microsoft Windows and how Windows Server fits into an enterprise's infrastructure, along with an understanding of Active Directory domain environment, is expected.
