I'm not an expert with group policies but would like to use it more. I'm
trying to set up five machines with a local group policy but have screwed up
two machines already by not being able to get gpedit.msc because I set the
sample user configuration policy up has the user account (user account has
administrator rights) but in doing so the policies also affected the
administrator account so I'm on my third machine. I accidentally set both
local computer and user policies (didn't know I just had to use user
configuration) Does anyone have links to any proper information or
instruction on how to group policy? We're tired of using Fortres desktop
security.
