One of the differences between a good Group Policy implementation and a great one is organisational unit structure. Also create sites for subnets even if you don’t have domain controllers at those sites.Ģ. If you can’t handle deploying traffic between specific subnets, divide them into separate sites. Well connected can mean different things to different organisations, but a site should define those subnets where you can afford to distribute applications. You should create a site and corresponding subnets for each physical subnet or subnets that are well connected. I’ll discuss why in more detail when I get to DFS.

If you haven’t configured your sites and subnets you must look at these. Of course the first thing you are going to need is Active Directory and there are two components of Active Directory that should be configured before you start looking at Group Policy.ġ. There are a few things you’ll need to ensure are in place and working correctly before you start. Successfully deploying applications with Group Policy requires a solid base in Active Directory. Deploying applications via Group Policy is a fairly straight-forward process, if a little limiting, however if you don’t do it right you could be setting yourself up for some pain down the track. In this article I’ve outlined what I recommend for best utilising Group Policy to deploy applications.
