TIP:  Group Policy Management Console If you work with Active Directory, then you know how difficult it is to remember where a specific GPO is located within a complex AD infrastructure. Under Windows 2000 and Windows 2003, you have to hunt through the AD consoles looking through sites, domains, and OUs to find a specific GPO. This common time wasting activity can now be avoided with the installation of a new tool from Microsoft -- The Group Policy Management Console. Men -- masters of their search domains [vnunet.com] Men may be loath to ask for directions when they're behind the wheel. But get them behind a mouse, and they don't need any help, thank you very much. More than half of the men in a Yahoo poll could find what they needed online in less than a minute. Nearly 20% of the women took 10 minutes or more to find what they needed -- evidently a lot more women get distracted when they surf. Some analysts tried to explain Yahoo's findings by invoking "left side versus right side of the brain" arguments, but the truth is that years of training on the TV remote control have helped make man the master of the Googleverse.
