Abusing Group Policy Objects

Abusing Group Policy Objects exploits write access to a GPO to push malicious configuration, scripts, scheduled tasks, or registry changes, to every system within the GPO's linked scope. This lesson explains what makes GPO control powerful, what preconditions matter, what the attacker gains, and how to communicate GPO-based findings clearly in interviews, reports, and stakeholder conversations.
