Exam:
MCSA 2016 70-742

Objective

The objectives of this lab are to learn how to:
Use administrative templates to manage user settings
Implement settings by using Group Policy preferences
Configure Folder Redirection
Scenario

A. Datum Corporation has implemented Microsoft Office 2016, and you want to use Group Policy to configure settings for some Office 2016 apps. The IT department uses logon scripts to provide users with drive mapping to shared folders. However, maintaining these scripts is an ongoing problem, because they are large and complex. Your manager has asked that you implement drive mapping by using Group Policy preferences to remove logon scripts.

Your manager also has asked that you place a desktop shortcut to the Notepad app for all users who belong to the IT Security group. Additionally, you must add a new computer administrator’s security group as a local administrator on all servers.

To help minimize profile sizes, you also need to configure Folder Redirection to redirect several profile folders to each user’s home drive. Finally, you have to complete the GPO design to manage user desktops and server security.
