Group Policy Objects (GPOs) provides an infrastructure for centralized configuration management of the Windows operating system and applications that run on the operating system. GPOs are a collection of settings that define what a system will look like and how it will behave for a defined group of computers or users. GPOs are used within Active Directory to configure systems in accordance with Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs). Benefits of using GPOs are time and cost saving, centralized location for all configurations, increased productivity, enhanced security and standardization.
