Mastering Windows Group Policy

Modifying an existing GPO

Group Policy is pretty pointless without plugging settings into GPOs. (That's a lot of words that begin with the letter P!) So one critical skillset needed for Group Policy administration is familiarity with modifying GPO settings. So far, we are still working with the items that are pre-built into our fresh installation of Group Policy, but that will soon change. As a general practice, you don't usually touch or change the Default Domain Policy, but something that is commonly put into place here is generalized password settings that you want applied to all users within your domain. We will update those settings to meet our current password needs.
