Hey Everybody! This is the first of many threads that will run on a weekly basis. Due to my schedule, I can commit for posting a new thread between Wednesday and Friday!
This week we will start at the top and stay within Computer Configuration until we get through it. Obviously, the main difference between Computer Configuration and User Configuration is that Computer Settings are applied before you get to the Login Screen, and User Configuration applies after the Domain Authentication (Logon) occurs.
I, personally, don't have any entries within the Software Section at this time. But, from what I understand, this is where you could deploy software to computers to be "published", which would allow users to Install them from Add/Remove Programs.
See Screenshot
Since this topic, from my standpoint is light, I figured I would add a few more tidbits...
Check out this utility, I am sure most of you have seen it already, but it makes viewing reports on your settings a snap!

Also, I was able to sneak a peek at this book earlier today, and I highly recommend it. Mine is on the way! (Thanks go to NetRyder for posting this link earlier in a different thread)

So, let's get this GPO party started. Come one, come all, share your screenshots and opinions!
Week to week we will just be changing topics/threads, we can still post!
