Group Policy Objects

Group policy objects (GPOs) are predefined sets of available settings that can be applied to Active Directory computer/user objects. The settings, available within a particular GPO, are created using a combination of administrative template files included or referenced within that GPO. As the particular computer or user management needs change, additional administrative templates can be imported into a particular GPO to extend its functionality.
