	[[Group Policy]] is where all of the settings and changes that we want to make to all of the computers in our network are made. Pretty much every Windows setting you have ever heard of, and many you haven't heard of, can be changed here and applied to some or all of the computers or servers in our network. We have different [[Group Policy]] settings set for our normal computers than the servers, and different ones are applied to computers that may run through our [[Active Directory]] but are in different rooms.

Our [[Security Policy]] is part of [[Group Policy]] but has it's own page, as it is very important to keep things controlled and needed more of an explanation than other parts of [[Group Policy]].
