If your organization uses an Active Directory domain controller, configure:
•File and printer sharing options
•Security options
For that, you can 
create a new group policy object (GPO) or change the parameters of an already existing object.
To create a new group policy object 1.In the command prompt window, type gpmc.msc and run Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). 2.Create a new group policy object (for example, GPO-KATANABUSINESSEDITION). For that, in the GPMC console tree right-click Group Policy Objects in the forest and domain in which you want to create a new object (GPO). Click New. In the New GPO dialog box, specify a name for the new object, and then click OK. 3.Link the created object to the required domain. 4.Right-click the created object, select Edit and adjust the settings according to the description below. |
If you decided not to create a new object and to adjust the parameters of an existing one, open the window with appropriate settings.
1.On a computer that has the Group Policy Management feature installed, click Start → Administrative Tools → Group Policy Management. 2.If the User Account Control dialog box appears, check the displayed data and click Continue. 3.In the navigation pane, expand Forest: YourForestName, then expand Group Policy Objects and right-click the GPO for which you want to create the rule. 4.On the open menu, click Edit. |
