Windows server 2012 r2 standard what does it eat with?

Question

System administration

Good day!
So there was a situation that the system administrator goes into oblivion.
The web-programmer (I) will be responsible for the system administration of the network and computers.
And I have a number of questions:
There is a server on Windows server 2012 r2 standard.
1. How to properly configure group policy for computers? (For example, there is one policy for the computers of chiefs, and another for managers.) How to divide them into departments and sub-departments?
2. How to make it so that when connecting a flash drive, it asks for the admin password or does not see the flash device at all, except for the mouse, keyboard and printers.
3. What resources would you recommend for absorbing knowledge of system administration?

Answer 1

Toaster is a Q&A service, not a learning portal. Look for literature on Windows system administration and read.

Answer 2

How to properly configure group policy for computers?

View the rules and adjust according to them.

How to make it so that when you connect a flash drive it asks for an admin password

Nothing, except to write your own software. It is not clear why and for whom the admin password may be needed, and what does connecting a flash drive have to do with it.

I did not see a flash device at all, except for a mouse, keyboard and printers.

Through policy - Access to removable storage devices.
You can just crash the usbstor.inf and usbstor.pnf files.

What resources would you recommend for absorbing knowledge of system administration?

Brain. Usually knowledge is absorbed into it. If this difficulty can be recorded.

Answer 3

1. Separate them into different OUs and apply your policies to them.
2. If (suddenly) you use Kaspersky Anti-Virus, then it can control access to external devices.

Answer 4

1 - everything is googled
2 - to the extreme, at least ask separate questions. but then again - don't wait for the answer to the question "make me nice".. show the work.. and the stumbling block.. this is a completely different attitude and other answers

Answer 5

With flash drives, you can also solve it through group policies, if I remember in the morning I will share the link *

Answer 6

After the phrase "The web programmer (I) will be entrusted with the system administration of the network and computers," I didn’t even read it because it’s nonsense in the cube.
You still make a milkmaid work in a taxi)))
Lord, when will people understand that the concept of "profession" has its own definition?
Did you really need to say this?
