Administrators use Group Policy to define specific configurations for groups of users and computers by creating Group Policy settings. These settings are specified through the Group Policy Object Editor tool (formally known as GPedit) and contained in a Group Policy object (GPO), which is in turn linked to Active Directory containers, such as sites, domains, or OUs as Figure 1 shows. In this way, Group Policy settings are applied to the users and computers in those Active Directory containers. Administrators can configure the users’ work environment once and rely on the system to enforce the policies as defined.
Figure 1. GPOs are applied to sites, domains, and the OUs beneath them. Here, OU1 is affected by GPO1, GPO2, and GPO3. OU2 is affected by all four GPOs.
