Abstract
A registry of system information may have several sections. Group policies may be represented by entries in particular sections of the registry. A policy map may map group policies to the sections and entries of the registry. A policy map registry section field of the policy map may specify one or more sections of the registry to which group policies are mapped. The policy map may include one or more registry variable policy map fields, each of which may specify mappings for different types of registry variables. A configuration file repository may include sets and versions of policy configuration files that include policy maps. A group policy configuration tool may retrieve and parse policy maps, and update group policies corresponding to the policy maps.
