“ If I could give this book 10 stars I would. When I read the first couple of pages, I knew this was just the book I was looking for. The book was not boring and every chapter has something useful. I have finally figured out why some of my group policies were not functioning properly and the [desktop management chapters were] awesome. If you don't have this book please purchase this book as a reference or a problem solver. ”

Michael L. Givens

“ [I] used the tools he demonstrated and those tools saved me a lot of time and money. ”

More freeness awesomeness -- WinInstall LE
Aug 05, 2008

Remember the good ol' days? When right on the Windows CD-ROM was a great little free MSI repackaging tool called WinInstall LE?

Well, then it just went away.

A lot happened since then. WinInstall broke free, and became their own company. Then they were bought out by Attachmate. Then finally sold to Scalable software.

And look what happened? It's free again! So, if you're looking for a great little MSI repackaging tool (totally free) check it out here.

Oh yeah, and they mention me in the press quote. Because, you know I like free stuff!

BOF920 Let's Get Real: What Are "The" Best Practices for Windows Group Policies?
Friday, June 13 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM 
Moderator: Jerome (Jerry) Cruz
Session Type: Birds of a Feather


3000+ configurable settings with Windows Server 2008 (and almost that many with Windows Vista) and now they add Group Policy Preference Extensions, why that's 21 "brand new" sets of things to configure. What's an Admin to do and where do we start? Should I script it or build an ADM template? Or is that an ADMX template? Any pros or cons to choosing between them? Can I set something up with a GPO, but still allow my users to have "some" choice? How do I do that? Rocket Science seems easier than this. So, last year we talked about what new things we wanted in the area of Group Policies. Well, we got a lot of it, now what can we do with it? Let's discuss what the "New Best Practices" for Group Policies are!
