Group Policy support in Microsoft ugly

Shabana Parveen

I personally feel group policy support and existing API is not so very user friendly and no proper support can be found while googling. Don't know, may be for me this goes right : "Unskilled craftsman fight with his own tool" :( Still I will say that GP support from Microsoft sucks!!!

Yes it's a mess, and has been since Windows NT 4.0. It doesn't provide any clear and understandable settings. Some of which conflict with other policy settings, usually undoing the other policy setting without your knowledge. It only workable if using Active Directory within a domain scenario. Still a confusing nightmare.

u r 100% correct.No clear and understandable settings. Conflicting part is biggest pain. I am having very tough time in office becoz this unfriendly support. :(

If policy is done on individual machines then it's impossible to enforce (or manage). The best you can hope for is applying file system security plus enable disk quotas. Then very minimal policies on Explorer and IE. The other problem with applying policies is that they don't take effect until you log off or reboot. Then the pain starts. (I don't envy you one bit) :((
