This course goes over everything about GPOs. It gave me new insight into what I can do with GPOs that I knew it could do but was unaware of how to do it or even how to do some of it properly. I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting do what the title says, Mastering Group Policy.

The course kept my attention the whole time. Also, the instructor explains the lessons so easily that it keeps your attention. He explains the course as if you’re there in the same room. If I need any refreshing on group policies, this will be my course of choice. Great job!!!

I have used group policy for years, but decided to check out this course. There were some real gems! The pace was great, and the examples were "real world" and helped drive the points home. Thank you!

Ich habe in der Berufsschule ein Zertifikat zum Thema "Aufbau und Administration einer AD Domäne" gemacht und danach praktisch mit einen AD auf Windows Server 2016 gearbeitet. Den Kurs mache ich zum Auffrischen und um rauszufinden was für Group Policy Funktionen seit 2016 dazugekommen sind. Hierzu hat der Kurs schon Informationen geliefert. Gut finde ich auch das der Kurs die Implementierung von Group Policy Objects systematisch fachlich aufbaut.

Kevin has a way of teaching that gives someone with no experience everything they need to succeed! At the same time, for someone that is well-seasoned like myself, he always gives me an "wow, I didn't know that" moment! I have taken some of his short courses and I am working through some of his longer ones and he always rates very highly!
