Introduction

Overview

Group Policy is a collection of settings used to add additional controls to the working environment of both user and computer accounts. Group Policy helps enforce password policies, deploy patches, disable USB drives, disable PST file creation, and more. Group Policy helps strengthen your organizations' IT security posture by closely regulating critical policies such as password change, account lockout, and more.
