Well, today we announced the release of a product I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts–the GPExpert Desktop Policy Manager. I’m very excited about this product because it is the first product that really seeks to address the complexity of managing desktop configuration using Group Policy. One of the things I’ve heard loud and clear over the years from folks is that using Group Policy can be complex, daunting and prone to error. This product seeks to remove that complexity and make using this powerful technology really simple, using a web-based interface and wizard-driven style that simplifies the task of locking down Windows desktops.
I’m looking forward to getting feedback on this product to learn how we can make the process of Windows configuration even easier!
