| I just want to say thanks to you all. I finally got my thesis done on Group
Policy and it's time to head for new adventures. You all have been a great
help! I don't think I could've made the new implementation without your
help. I am flying to Toronto next friday (April 30th) with a temporary work
permit, so if any of you work there and are intersted in hiring me, please
email me  Anyway, one more time, THANK YOU!

And here's the Abstract of my thesis if any of you are intersted:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This thesis concerns the centralized management of Windows operating system
settings using Windows Group Policy technology. The goal of the thesis was
to find out how this particular technology could be used more efficiently in
the local area network of AB Inc. As a result, a new Group Policy
implementation was created based on the research.
The objective of the thesis was to get a greater number of operating system
settings managed through Group Policy technology, so that administrator
would not have to go through each computer, one by one, when configuring the
settings. With the help of Group Policy technology, the computers would
receive these settings automatically when the computer starts and the user
logs in. The technology also forces the settings onto a computer, so that
the end user is not able to change the centrally configured operating system
settings. This way the whole environment could be made more standardized.
The work was divided into two phases: research and implementation. In the
research phase the first thing was to familiarize myself with the technology
and the improvements it had gone through, and to find out whether these
improvements could be used in the company’s current environment. In the
second phase, a new Group Policy implementation was created and the
technology used more efficiently than earlier. Both of these phases were
largely based on literature and online articles provided by professionals
specialized in Group Policy technology.
As a result, a new Group Policy implementation was created for the company,
where a greater number of operating system settings was managed with Group
Policy technology. In the new implementation, a large number of Group Policy
settings and technological improvements were utilized. Most of these were
not used prior to this. These settings were put to use, because during the
research phase it had became clear that it was possible to utilize these
setting in the company’s current environment. This way it was possible to
control a larger number of operating system settings with Group Policy
technology. Utilizing Windows 7 -operating system in the company’s computers
in the near future was also taken under consideration.
The final results regarding the company’s new Group Policy implementation
cannot be generalized. The goal was to plan and create an implementation
which would best suit the company in question. It was an individual case
which cannot be generalized. The results regarding the technological
improvements and the experts’ recommendations used while planning the
company’s new implementation on the other hand can be generalized and
transferred to other Group Policy -environments.
