Creating Group Policies in General

[Jim in Cleveland]

I was curious what the best practice is for creating a group policy. Is it
better to combine a bunch of settings into one group policy or is it better
to create a group policy for each particular setting that you want to
implement? I know that latter might become overwhelming if you create dozens
of GPs. But if you do it that way, couldn't you label the GP accordingly?

What is the difference between Link order and Precedence?

Regarding precedence order, I understand that the higher numbered GPOs are
processed before the lower numbered ones are. With that being said, suppose
GPO2 hides the control panel and GPO1 does not. If GPO2 is processed first,
followed by GPO1, will GPO1 override GPO2? Will the Control panel appear?
Just trying to understand this stuff!!

Re: Creating Group Policies in General

I prefer to create a "mid-term" GPO standard. Few GPOs with many configs in
it and sometimes filtering via Permissions and sometimes WMI Filters

If all settings will be applied together, i configure the GPO to host all
settings in the same GPO, because a lot of GPOs can slow down the Login
I only create several GPOs in situations where there are different configs
to different people, to diffrenet OUs.
