I must be in an exceptional mood today -- usually, if a resource requires an extensive registration [and this one certainly does], I don't feature it in these selections. It is hard enough just finding and understanding the information we need to teach IT effectively without battling additional obstacles. In this case, however, the reward is worth jumping through the hoops: a meaty, 79-page guide to the whole mare's nest of issues surrounding WINDOWS Group Policies.
Now Group Policies are one of these annoying things which are immensely powerful, extremely important for IT students to know about, and yet remarkably resistant to effective teaching, because they are so abstract in the absence of a specific environment in which to apply them. Having a guide which can make some practical sense out of this is comforting in itself, and will, no doubt, serve as a source of precept and example to assist in teaching this subject.
