This Book and Beyond

Group Policy is a big concept with some big power. This book is intended to help you get a handle on this new power to gain control over your environment and to make your day-to-day administration easier. This book is filled with practical, hands-on examples of Group Policy usage and troubleshooting. It is my hope that you enjoy this book and learn from my experiences so you can successfully deploy Group Policy and IntelliMirror to better control your network. I'm honored to have you aboard for the ride, and I hope you get as much out of Group Policy as I enjoy writing and speaking about it in my hands-on workshops.

As you read this book, it's natural to have questions about Group Policy or IntelliMirror. Until recently there was no "one stop shop" place to get your questions answered . To form a community around Group Policy, I have started a free service that can be found at www.GPanswers.com. I encourage you to visit the website and post your questions to the forum or peruse the other resources that will be constantly renewed and available for download. For instance, in addition to the forum, you'll find additional scripts (beyond Chapter 7) and ADM templates to download (beyond Chapter 5), tips and tricks, a third-party Group Policy Solutions Guide and more!

If you want to meet me in person, my website at GPanswers.com has a calendar of all my upcoming appearances at various conferences, events, and intensive workshop classes. I'd love to hear how this book met your needs or helped you out.
