This new system, available for Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions, will allow you to configure different policies for different users. You can use it to create a specific desktop configuration, but this type of Group Policy applies to all users of the computer regardless.įortunately, Microsoft realized that something more was needed and developed the Multiple Local Group Policy system. Unfortunately, Windows XP's Local Group Policy doesn't work that way. If you have ever been responsible for managing stand-alone or workgroup Windows XP systems with multiple user accounts, chances are you wished you could have used Group Policy to set different policies for different users.
