Next, learn how to share resources such as files and folders so they're available to users across the network. Finally, tackle the topic of group policy, which allows you to configure and manager user and computer settings at a very detailed level. By the end of the chapter, you will understand group policy, group policy objects, and how to work with group policies in your domain.
