Windows Group Policy

The Windows 2000 and Windows XP policy pages include the Windows Group Policy. This policy can be applied to a set of workstations that are part of a container of a sub-container in Active Directory.

The Windows Group Policy is nothing more than another .ADM file that is applied to all the users in the container in Novell's case, users associated with this policy via direct association, group association, or container association.

The NDS Rights, Other, and Rights to Files and Folders pages are described in the "Setting Up a Workstation Policy Package" section.

Figure 9.8 displays a sample screen of this policy.

This policy enables you to browse to the group policy ADM file (the default policy file for the Windows 2000 group policy is the default). You can then press the Edit button to launch the poledit program on the local administrator workstation in order to edit this group policy.
