			<strong>Local Admin password expiry</strong>

			There are cases where we need to use the server's local admin login for maintenance (even if the server is a member of domain). This group policy makes sure the server's local Administrator account's password never expires.



			<strong>No pinned Server Manager and PowerShell</strong>

			This is to fix a known Microsoft issue where any newly added Remote Desktop user has Server Manager and PowerShell shortcuts pinned to his quick launch. Not, if using this GP.



			<strong>Prohibited TS users</strong>

			Restricts network and resource access to Kiosk RDP users and 3rd party contractors.



			<strong>VNC Ctrl-Alt-Del</strong>

			Disables UAC (user account control) above the VNC service. This allows a user to send the Ctrl-Alt-Del from his remote session without getting blocked by UAC.



			<strong>WSUS</strong>

			Sets the apply time, frequency and address of the central Windows Update server (currently hosted on Abydos). All servers report and pull data from this machine.
