4.0 out of 5 starsnumber one book I now use
By Skip Bieber on October 12, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
After visiting Darren's website and exchanging emails, I bought the book. Sure I've got other GPO books on the shelf (and the table and the floor) but this book as quickly became "THE" number one book I use. Just in the first few days with this book, I was able to resolve 4 of those annoying non-critical items that mean nothing to end-users but annoyed me every time I saw it occur. And in the days after that, I was not only able to get many other backlogged GP items resolved, but even threw in some razzle as well. I especially found their discussion of the GPMC and RSOP modeling very helpful - I've been struggling to master both (and with those other books) and with the short time with the book, I've picked up both quickly. I'm by no means a master on this (yet) but getting there quickly and this book has and will help. Writing style is short, crisp and to the point - the kind I like. The only negative is that my co-workers keep stealing it! :)

4.0 out of 5 starsA GP book does exist
By Lamini on January 1, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Been using for several months, took some time just to find the book as I never seen the likes at book stores. Book takes what you see from GP and puts it into a book so you dont have to stare at screends as much. I use the eBook as the organization of the book does not flow so well and is not that great as it seems to just ramble on. Only makes more sense to use the pdf version on a laptop anyway with all the searching for keys and values... Should have included the GP and and how it links to the Registry (ie changing this in GP changes this in Registry; it does exist on microsofts site and you wouldve thought it would in the book - I did not find). Book includes default settings so, for those of us who mess around there, thats a good bonus. A definite must have for those working in the Windows security realm

5.0 out of 5 starsGroup Policy Bible
By Jase T. Wolfe on June 19, 2005
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
At over 700 pages, everything you want to know about Group Policies (GP) is at your fingertips. Covering every aspect of GPs from concept introduction to advanced troubleshooting on all supported Windows platforms (including Windows Server 2003 SP1), any administrator of any level will walk away from this book with a more clear and advanced understanding of the information than what they started with.

Along with foundational GP concepts, everything you need to know about deployment, client hardening, user and computer management, software deployments, and troubleshooting are here. The information does not stop with just configurations for the Windows platform, but covers the Microsoft Office suite as well. Beyond the in-depth administrative information, complete overviews of add-in security templates, creation of custom GP templates, and GPMC scripting are also well documented. The included CD-ROM has every template and tool discussed in the book, as well as many very useful utilities not directly mentioned but of value.

Don't let the size of the book discourage you. Although large, the topics are well presented, well labeled, and what you're looking for is easily found from the table of contents or the index. What makes this book even more usable is the in-page topic links. In every chapter, ever time a concept is presented where you need to understand the foundation, a "More Info" box is presented telling you where in the book to turn for the underlying principals. That little addition makes this book not just a start to finish text, but an as-needed reference that you will keep readily available.

Any administrator of any level that works in any way with Group Policies should pick this up.
