Group Policy Central

On my recent trip to the Microsoft MVP Summit I was able to catch up with Rick Claus and record an episode of TechNet Edge. In this video do some quick deep dives into Group Policy with Windows 8. So sit back and watch the very informative video embedded below…

First off… Merry Christmas (or seasons greeting)… Secondly sorry I have been slack with updating my web site lately but I have been really busy at work and since Christmas Day (which is also my birthday) I have been playing lots of FarCry 3 and Star Wars The Old Republic so…. sorry…

But, If you are still locking for you fill of Group Policy info over the end of year break I did notice there has been a new video published on TechNet Edge showing casing what is new with Group Policy in Windows 2012.
