newbie needs to learn gpedit

[rseaberg76]

I am used to using poledit, but heard that gpedit would be of better use. I am setting up a university lab, and need to lock down the labuser account as tightly as possible, while still allowing them to use the couple-dozen programs installed on each machine.

How do I use gpedit to set policies on just users, and not the administrator account as well? Microsoft help is rather vague and I could really use some assistance.
Thanks in advance

Go to

and look at the section called Apply restrictions through policies and rights.

If you're talking about using the gp editor in Active Directory, then what you need to do is create different organizational units under a main folder. For instance, I created an organizational unit called Accounts, then created sub-organizational units (folders) called Administrators, Users, Guests. Each one of those sub-organizational units has their own group policy, with different restrictions.
