This chapter was all about the deployment of GP Policy settings. We made the important distinction between managed and unmanaged policies, with some hints about how to quickly tell the difference. We explored Administrative Templates, which is essential information for understanding where our policy settings come from, and what to expect when removing policies from a client computer. Then we got into some real-world examples and deployed numerous Computer Configuration and User Configuration policies within the test lab. We wrapped up the chapter with a talk about Group Policy Loopback Processing, which is a bit of a confusing topic but can be extremely valuable if you run any kiosk-style computers, or if you are working in an environment that offers Remote Desktop Services to its users. 

There are some distinct differences between Policy settings discussed here, and Group Policy Preference settings, which we are going to discuss in the next chapter. Turn the page to continue!
