Re: GPO Useage

I am newbie on the topic on using group policy editor and would like
to know how to use GPO to administrate certain rights for a limited
account user or for a power user account. Is it possible to administer
a GPO for a single user or does it have to be done for a group ? It
does not matter if the effort involved to administer for a single user
is long but wish to play (learn) with GPO.

There is no Active Directory so I am just working with a single
Windows XP Pro workstation and not Windows Server running AD.



Group Policy is an infrastructure used to deliver and apply one or more
desired configurations or policy settings to a set of targeted users and
computers within an Active Directory environment.

You can work with Local policy though.

Can any one make show me step by step on how to do this. I am just
fine getting into GPO and creating user accounts whether a limited or
adminstrator or power group account. Hopefully that will help out
somewhat.

Thanks
