I have been talking over the past year about “Hardening Active Directory”.   In those discussions, we have been talking about implementing a granular password policy so that you K-2 students have a lower password requirement than your financial and guidance users.

The summer months are often very busy times as we try to get all our projects accomplished before school starts again. This month Scott Quimby will discuss summer priorities.   There are so many important tasks that never seem to get done during the school year.

This month Scott Quimby continues his discussion of Microsoft Group Policy.  He will focus on Microsoft Windows logon performance and reliability. There are a myriad of different settings that affect how long it takes the user to get to a functional desktop from the initial Windows logon screen.

Scott Quimby continues his discussion of Microsoft Group Policy.  He will focus on the different ways to deliver items to an end user’s desktop.  These include: Shared folders via a folder re-direction group policy. Delivering customized shortcuts via Group Policy Preference Extensions including Item Level Targeting strategies.
