3. Administrative Templates
The Administrative Templates node and
subnodes in a GPO update the registry on the target computer, either
under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER portion of the
registry. Thousands of settings can be configured under these nodes.
The settings are categorized and logically organized so that it is
easier to find them. The following is a summary of the categorized
nodes of settings available under the Administrative Templates nodes
that fall under both the Computer Configuration and User Configuration
sections of a GPO:
