I was experimenting with GPOs in a test active directory running completely in VMs. That way i learned some basic stuff about active directory.

I want to learn more about this too! Do you have any recommendations for resources? How did you go about, did you try to set up something specific, or were you just exploring and following tutorials?

I went with the Evaluation Version of Windows Server and Windows 10 Enterprise. I was following some tutorials Ehen i got stuck. I dont really have any ressources apart from the microsoft documentation. I just did some basic tasks. Here are some examples:

giving the user a network share
disable and hide some settings from the User or force some settings
set a desktop background for all users
disable USB devices or only allow some specific devices
autostart some programs

And so on you can basically tweak everything via GPOs or registry edits.

Just set it up and take a look in the administrative templates from microsoft.
