Group Policy Advice

[rshortland]

Okay I will admit that I have spent too long now doing business support for the firm I work for but now I have been tasked with building designing and building a new school network. This also entails creating all the group policies for staff and students from scratch. What I'm after is a bit of a cheat's guide to help me speed up the process as I am having to do everything from printer and share deployment through roaming profiles to locking down the systems. The school goes from reception up to year 6 and uses a mix of laptops and desktop pc's along with laptops for all the staff. I have also got to document all the group polices used and the impact that they will have on security so any help will be gratefully appreciated.
