Group Policy exists in almost every modern business environment. Many organizations do not use Group Policy extensively, effectively or at all. We all face problems with securing our Windows environments, but most do not realize they already have the best tool for the job.
Do you understand how Group Policy is processed? Did you know you can manage both Active Directory groups and user rights? What about securely running Scheduled Tasks and do you even manage Services, bro? Why do all your Administrative accounts have extra permissions like Debug Programs? And why the hell are you afraid of AppLocker?
Remember, Group Policy is an ENTERPRISE scale Windows registry editor and more.
