For managing desktops and not servers, Group Policy is still unbeaten. I have yet to see a unified strategy on Linux of being able to say, mount these drives on logon, show these applications, don't allow them to do x, change the background to y etc.
Sure, managing linux servers is a doddle, but desktop environments are miles harder to get right.
- setquk 8y agoHaving managed desktop windows deployments, I sort of agree. They work pretty well up to a point and that point stops when you have to introduce change control. Eventually all the little hacks, GPO scripts and stuff piles up and up and up and then there's a task like "migrate one AD node to 2016" and this turns into a 2 month project unpicking all the hell. That is what every single Windows environment I've seen turns into, including the SCCM powered and Microsoft direct consultancy managed ones.
