Feel free to skip my story & go to the questions if you want. They are clearly marked!
======================================================================
So it has come to the unfortunate yet inevitable time that my Net admin program has slid over to the MCSA course/cert; for those that aren't aware, it is a Microsoft 10 course with 2 text books and shit ton of mind-numbing numpty lessons throughout it. MY 12 year old cousin could pass it so me being a cocky Linux user, I have been waiting for test day then spend first 2 hours of class skimming every-page for the occasional acronym i need to know or the occasional actually intermediate-expert information that Microsoft squeezes in between all the crap in their books. So anyways I coasted through 3 tests and have my last one before my exam on Friday (or maybe Monday idk.).
So anyways, today he was giving us a lesson on group policy and i kind of ignored it for the first minute knowing that I have briefly used it and have changed a few users rights and privileges and some minor stuff like password rules so with basic knowledge of it and the test being a multiple choice & true or false rather then a practical (which is how I keep my 79-82% average).
I caught something he said during his lecture and stopped typing my code immediately, I sounded important, yet foreign to me... Fu*k I would've paid attention! He also outright said it will be on the test so I began paying attention, staying 30 minutes late to pick up and absorb as much as I can. There is so much more to group policy then I thought.
It seems you can puppet master every standard users account from your admin account.
I have a Win10 VM running right now at home and my textbook open so I am going to read all 3 chapters first before the test instead of skimming and find some resources for group policy I can work with on my VM to physically do it or else I'll only retain 50 % of chapter. I need to mix written knowledge with actually physically doing a task to absorb it.__________________________________________________

Anyone know of any extensive tutorials for getting into the deep and dirty of group policy, also if there are any that apply to business, enterprise or large scale networks that would be perfect because that will be my future employment.
Most Needed: Tutorials, E Books (pref short ones), Articles, Forums, Blogs or anything at all related to those topics.
[b]Extras[/b]: Azure, Azure-RemoteApp, In-tune, App-V
Also doing: Hyper-V (got that pretty down pat though, I use V-box so not hard to convert for school.)

=====================================================
More Skippable stuff below lol*
I need to not just pass this test but nail it to get back to my normal average and begin catching up on all the time I fucked up. Don't ever let a bitch get into your head or you will lose out on whats important. Net-Sec and making money, not pussy (well not always the case lol)
I need to pass this course so I can gt back to my hobbyist programming, find a low paying admin job to gain experience then continue to do what needs to be done to enter the white-hate security field. But if I fuck up Network Administrative Professional I shouldn't bother trying for security degrees. I just wanted to start small with hardware/software, operating systems, visualizations, servers, controlling networks, everything about networks and be a thorough and impressive network admin before I start to enhance my programming a bit and begin my journey to Ethical-Hacking and working my dream position. I'm just worried this one bad month of being cocky and per-occupied has potential endangered the future, don't stay to far from Microsoft, it's everywhere... For now.
Thanks Everyone!
