What are group policies?
Group policies specify how programs, network resources, and the
operating system work for users and computers in an organization. They
are collections of user and computer configuration settings that are
applied on the users and computers (not on groups). For better
administration of group policies in the Windows environment, the group
policy objects (GPOs) are used.
What is GPO?
Group policy object (GPO) is a collection of group policy settings.
It can be created using a Windows utility known as the Group Policy
snap-in. GPO affects the user and computer accounts located in sites,
domains, and organizational units (OUs). The Windows 2000/2003 operating
systems support two types of GPOs, local and non-local (Active
Directory-based) GPOs.
