Windows server (User control)

Question

Can I control other computer's settings only from one computer(windows server 2022), without server data storage . I mean, I need only control install program settings, every computer should use own storage. Please help for school.

Answer 1

Hi,

I believe you're referring to the use of a domain and group policies in order to configure multiple computers on a network. This is a very large subject, but the following links should help:

https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory-domain-services/tutorial-create-instance

I hope this answers your question.

Answer 2

You can use GPO's in a domain environment and Endpoint Manager in Azure cloud.

Answer 3

Sure, you can use group policy in a domain environment.

Group Policy is an infrastructure that allows you to specify managed configurations for users and computers through Group Policy settings and Group Policy Preferences. To configure Group Policy settings that affect only a local computer or user, you can use the Local Group Policy Editor. You can manage Group Policy settings and Group Policy Preferences in an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environment through the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). Group Policy management tools also are included in the Remote Server Administration Tools pack to provide a way for you to administer Group Policy settings from your desktop.
