Blast from the Past: Understanding Group Policy in a Terminal Services Environment
As Terminal Services becomes more widely deployed, many people are asking how to secure their environments. The answer to this question can be as simple or as complex as people want. A commonality among many people who ask this question is their unfamiliarity with Group Policy. Group Policy is a powerful tool in helping secure terminal services deployments. This paper shall cover the basics of implementing a Group Policy Object (GPO) in a terminal services environment.

Windows Server 2008 Group Policy Preferences: The End Of The Login Script?
Microsoft has, almost quietly (unless you were in ITForum Barcelona), released a new feature into Windows Server 2008 (and Vista SP1) that in my mind is amongst the best features in Windows Server 2008.

New Group Policy Settings in Windows Server 2008 Video
As you are all well aware Windows Server 2008 has some really cool new features centered around Virtualization, Terminal Services, and Server Core. I recorded a short segment of video showcasing some of the additions made to group policy settings. This is by no means a comprehensive treatment of possible additions but rather a showcase of some of the changes that I personally found interesting and useful.

Do you Really Need ADMX Files?
You’ve probably learned quite a bit already about the change in the Group Policy Administrative Template file format for Vista and Windows Server 2008. (If you haven't, start here.) That change converts our proprietary ADM format for templates to an XML-based ADMX format.

Using Group Policy to Configure Citrix Client Settings
Another gem from Jason Conger. This time it is an article on how to use Group Policies to help configure Citrix Client settings. It has always been relatively easy to install/distribute Citrix ICA clients to workstations in the past. This can be done via Citrix Web Interface, the Citrix Automatic Client Update Utility, or even Active Directory.

How can I manage Group Policy application using Security Groups?
This is a question that seems to always come back in Microsoft Group Policy newsgroups. It seems sort of logic that – as this whole feature is named “Group Policy” – people want to define settings according to security groups rather than organize their user- and computer accounts in OUs.

How to Troubleshoot Group Policy Processing on Terminal Servers
Here's a tip concerning troubleshooting Group Policy application when you have Windows terminal servers on the back end of your Windows clients. User Configuration policy settings will usually be applied when a user logs on to a terminal server, with one main exception: when the terminal server is configured to use loopback processing with replace mode.

How to Block Removable Storage Access (USB Key) with Vista Group Policy
USB flash memory drives and other removable disks can be a great convenience – but they can also pose a security threat. It’s awfully easy for someone to download data to one and make off with it. And if there’s a CD or DVD burner installed, that’s another way someone can take away data. Yet another option is to download data to an MP3 player or cell phone. Vista gives you a way to block the use of these devices through Group Policy. You can allow people to read data on their devices but not write to them, or you can block the use of the devices altogether.
