How Core Group Policy Works

Group Policy allows IT administrators to centrally manage settings and software installation on multiple Windows computers. It uses Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that contain configuration settings and can be linked to sites, domains, or organizational units. When a GPO is changed, it is automatically applied to member computers at the next refresh interval or when the user logs on. This allows administrators to easily deploy and update settings for all users and computers in an organization from a single location.
