Title:
Group Policy Preferences, Templates and Scripting

Description: As an IT professional, you've probably mapped user network drives
with log on scripts - which meant you had to write and debug the log on script,
store the script in a central location, then run the script by configuring user
objects in Active Directory or by creating a Group Policy Object. Sound
familiar? Now think about all the other settings you've configured using log on
scripts or similar methods. With Group Policy Preferences, you can cut costs
(and headaches) with a simple, central system to configure, deploy and manage
operating system and application settings. In this session, you'll get the
inside track on the Group Policy enhancements in Windows Server 2008 and
Windows Vista. You'll learn about Group Policy processing, scripting, features,
and how to use the template format. Don't miss this informative session on the
latest Group Policy preferences.
