Best way to deploy Group Policy Objects...
I'm asking this question to get some feed back on how you guys deploy GPO's. I'm a heavy user of GP, but never had one or a group of people say this is the way they do it because... My question is, do you deploy a GP for a specific task such as mapping drives and that's it or do you deploy a lot of actions into one GP, such as printers, drives, shortcuts and other items. I can see the win-win for doing it both ways, but just wanted to ask you guys and see the way you do it and maybe a reason for it. I really do not think there is a bad way to do it, but wanted to get some feedback on it. Thanks for the discussion guys, it is greatly appreciated.

Its always a compromise between having a small number of GPOs with lots of settings (that get applied quickly but are more of a problem to manage), and having lots of GPOs each doing a specific thing (which takes longer to apply but is easier to manage).
I do a lot of stuffs through GP. I don't put a lot of actions in one GP and i don't think that's the best way to do.

It is something that I have always thought over. I'm not in a large organization by any means, so it is easy to break them off into single GPO's and not have 100s. I posted this because I'm really rethinking my GP because of the new preferences they added with the release of 7/2008. Just so much more to control and wanted to get a feel of what other people are doing. Thanks for your quick responses.
