What is IT management? Is there a way to manage the entire computer in the network efficiently? How do you control unauthorized installations on computers in a network? In order to manage anything you have to have control. Control allows you to have authority to manage your network. There is hope, software that offers absolute control over networked personal computers.
Achieving full control over a network is a daunting task. This does not include the support tickets due to misconfigurations, virus, malware, zero day attacks, and performance degradation due to age. Just merely controlling the access levels and ensuring that productivity is on track is a great challenge. Windows Group Policy Object (GPO) has thousands of settings to choose from.
