Group Policy, Profiles, and Intellimirror for Windows 2003, Windows 2000, and Windows XP Jeremy Moskowitz
The Group Policy infrastructure in the Windows Server products enable IT administrators to automate one-to-many management of users and computers - simplifying administrative tasks and reducing IT costs. With the debut of Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) with Server 2003, policy-based management is even easier. Administrators can efficiently implement security settings, enforce IT policies, and distribute software consistently across a given site, domain, or range of organizational units.
