COMP2017 Server Administration Unit #8: Managing Users and Computers With GPO Name: - Soi

This document outlines the configuration of Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to manage users and computers on a domain. It includes two projects - the first to configure password policies using a GPO linked to an OU, and the second to configure audit policies using another GPO linked to the Domain Controllers OU. Screenshots are provided to demonstrate the creation of the GPOs, linking them to OUs, configuring specific policies within each GPO, and evidence that the policies were applied and events logged. Questions from the lab manual are also answered regarding how GPOs can affect domain accounts and the purpose of the account lockout reset setting.

******************************
Review Questions
1) When you create a GPO to implement a new password policy, where must you link the
GPO to have the policy affect Active Directory domain accounts?
Ans: By creating and linking a GPO to implement a new password policy at

the domain-level, all Active Directory domain accounts will be affected. All
OUs that do not have the Block Inheritance setting enabled will inherit the
new password policy as well.
2) What does the Reset Account Lockout Counter After setting do?
Ans. The Reset Account Lockout Counter After setting resets the counter which
has locked the user account after certain number of failed logon attempts. The
reset is done after the number of minutes (as defined in this setting) elapsed.
