5. Hardware Components

With so many desktops and servers in a typical Windows environment, it is hard to manage all of the hardware that is connected to each computer. Because security and control over desktops is so important, it is also important to control the hardware that can be used and accessed on desktops. Numerous Group Policy settings can be configured to control all aspects of hardware that run on servers and desktops. Table 5 summarizes many of the settings that can help you gain better control over hardware in your environment.
