AD and GPO refresh - Recommended GPOs everyone should use

[Theldron]

Hiya all,

 

I have decided to rebuild AD and GP at one of the schools I work. Its a bit of a mess, with GPOs there from when we first moved to vanilla from RM CC3 in 2012. So I am starting with new base OU and build from there.

 

I may look at this for another school I look after also. Their AD and GP were built by a company, and it looks like they used a template build, with a lot of things not really applying to the school.

 

Both schools are secondary.

 

Are there any GPOs that people recommend, ones that really work well for you?

 

Found my previous post from 2017 - https://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-server-2008-r2/185285-ad-gpo-cleanup.html - didn't get round to properly doing it.

The baseline GPOs are a good start from a security side of things: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55319
