Re: IMPACT of (Delegation Control of Group Policy) on Active Direc



Hello.
Here is a detail to think about.. Using the Delegation Control wizard will allow read/write option to both gpLink and gpOptions. gpOptions allows to set block inheritance and by pass policies defined at a higher level, for example at the domain node.

about risks or impacts in the two examples mentioned please go ahead
(examples can make things more easier).
