Description
Windows 2016 Server enables a network administration team to create and manage a security policy which they can bulk apply to different aspects of the Active Directory (AD) environment. Fully explaining the administration and management of the Windows 2016 Server AD environment will not be covered in this exercise.
You will be using the AD environment to create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) and apply it to a user account in order to enforce some security settings. Group Policy Objects are technical definitions of a user's permissions and rights within a domain.
