Windows Server blog by Kurt Roggen [BE]

It has been a while now since my last talk/presentation at TechDays 2009 and I wanted to share with you the content of that presentation.
As you can see, it’s all about Group Policies in Windows.  You can find the topics covered during the presentation below.
I received a lot of great feedback, so I hope you enjoy it too!
