Group Policy
What is Group Policy?
A Windows feature that lets admins enforce settings across all company computers from one place — password rules, security settings, software installs, and more.
Why Group Policy Matters
Without it, you configure each computer by hand. With it, you set a rule once and it applies to every machine automatically. It's the backbone of Windows domain management.
