ADDS Group Policy Lab - Zacham17/my-tech-journal GitHub Wiki

Brief Summary

In this lab, I added users and a group to my domain and I set up policies using group policy management.

In this lab, I used Active Directory Users and computers to add a new organizational unit(OU) to the domain, and I added new users to the OU.
I also moved the wks01 computer object into a new OU that I made.
I made a new group and and added the users that I made to it
I used group policy manager to add a new policy to apply to the users that I made earlier in the lab.
I then used the group policy editor to edit the policy that I created to do the following:
- Remove the recycle bin icon from the desktop
I then created another policy to make it so that no previous signed in users don't show on the login screen.
On wks01, I then signed into the user's I created and made sure that the policies applied to the users

I actually did similar labs to this one in high school, so I already knew a decent amount of what I did in this lab with Active Directory and GPOs.

Something new that I did learn was how to update the group policy on the workstation using the gpupdate /force command.
Something else new to me in this lab was using the gpresult /scope computer /r command to display the applied group policy objects.
A question I have about the lab is: "If a group policy setting doesn’t exist, is there a way to create a new customized setting to do what you want?"
