Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Group Policy: Management, Troubleshooting, and Security: For Windows Vista , Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 (Mark Minasi Windows Administrator Library) (Paperback)
This is the 4th edition of this book and I buy every new edition that comes out. This particular edition includes major new updates for Vista, such as ADMX templates. I teach courses on Windows security at SANS and I recommend the latest version of Jeremy's GPO book at every conference to my attendees. This is one of the few must-have books for Windows network administrators.

This review is from: Group Policy: Management, Troubleshooting, and Security: For Windows Vista , Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 (Mark Minasi Windows Administrator Library) (Paperback)
Each edition of Jeremy's book has outdone the other. I've read each of them and I continue to learn new things every time I open it. I appreciated the expanded section on Troubleshooting and how to tap into the great new Vista tools to make t-shooting much easier. Vista security management via GP is well documented and I can't wait to dive in. Real world anecdotes and light-n-fun writing style make for enjoyable reading for a complex and deep subject like GP.
