I was wanting to implement some common group policies on the servers we maintain.<br />
I wanted to create a list of GPO for when we setup new servers or servers already implemented we would follow the list and hopefully this would help us to standardize among all the servers we manage.<br />
<br />
What would be a good list of GPOs to have implemented on servers?<br />
<br />
I was thinking of stuff like these:<br />
<br />
Mapping users folders.<br />
My Document redirection.<br />
Home page to company website<br />
Locking down workstations<br />
Not being able to browse network<br />
Take away control panel.<br />
<br />
And so forth. &nbsp;Didn't want to recreate the wheel if someone already has a list of GPO they implement. &nbsp;Looking more towards the IT consultant list of GPOs not corporate IT.<br />
<br />
I appreciate the help in advance.
