Group Policy is one of the most powerful tools available to enterprise IT professionals—and one of the most misunderstood. This course demystifies Group Policy and teaches you how to use it to secure, configure, and streamline the management of your organization’s Windows Server 2016 systems and Windows clients.
Through real-world scenarios and hands-on labs, you'll explore Group Policy processing architecture, implement security and administrative templates, and use PowerShell to manage and automate policies. Whether you're aiming to reduce costs, standardize configurations, or improve network security, this training will give you the experience and tools to do it confidently.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to design and implement a robust Group Policy infrastructure and use it to manage security and configuration across your environment. You’ll also gain skills in scripting, troubleshooting, and automating Group Policy using PowerShell.
