Using Group Policies

Using Group Policies

In addition to assigning policies to a specific user, you can assign them to users that are in an NT or Netware Group

The advantage of this is that you can assign one policy that will effect many users. This way you don't need to create as many separate user policies.

Group Policies needs to be installed on each client.

1. Insert the Windows95 CD
2. Open the Control Panel
3. Double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon
4.. Click on the Windows Setup tab
5. Click on the Have Disk button
6. Browse to the \ADMIN\APPTOOLS\POLEDIT directory on the CD.
7. Click on the next two OK buttons.
8. Highlight the Groups Policies box and click on the Install button.
9. This will install GROUPPOL.DLL in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory as well as make a few registry changes.
10. When you create a policy file, you can now use Add Group. Anyone in that NT or Netware group will have the policies you set applied.
