Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) is a high-speed tracing facility provided by the Windows Operating System. ETW is the core tracing facility in Windows on top of which both the Event Log and WPP are built.
Windows Event Log is a management-focused event system, designed for system administrators and IT professionals to easily consume events. Tools such as the Event Viewer and Windows PowerShell interact with the Event Log to receive and display events to users.
Windows Software Trace Pre-Processing (WPP) events are primarily for debugging applications and drivers. WPP does not use the same APIs to log events as ETW and Windows Event Log providers.
windowsEnhanced DNS logging and diagnostics in Windows Server 2012 R2 and later includes DNS Audit events and DNS Analytic events. DNS audit logs are enabled by default, and do not significantly affect DNS server performance. DNS analytical logs are not enabled by default, and typically will only affect DNS server performance at very high DNS query rates.

You don’t have to look hard on the internet to find plenty of useful one-liners in bash, or scripts. And there are guides to bash that seem somewhat intimidating through either their thoroughness or their focus on esoteric detail.
Here I’ve focussed on the things that either confused me or increased my power and productivity in bash significantly, and tried to communicate them in a way that emphasises getting the understanding right.

awsUser rights govern the methods by which a user can log on to a system. User rights are applied at the local computer level, and they allow users to perform tasks on a computer or in a domain. User rights include logon rights and permissions. Logon rights control who is authorized to log on to a computer and how they can log on. User rights permissions control access to computer and domain resources, and they can override permissions that have been set on specific objects. User rights are managed in Group Policy under the User Rights Assignment item.

It also contains technical specifications for extensions to industry-standard and other published protocols that are used by Windows. In addition, the documentation includes a set of companion technology overview and reference documents that supplement the technical specifications with conceptual background, overviews of inter-protocol relationships and interactions, and technical reference information.

These services run in the security context of the user account - this provides better resource management than the previous approach of running these kinds of services in Explorer, associated with a preconfigured account, or as tasks.

The Group Policy Template (GPT) is stored in the SYSVOL of each domain controller and the Group Policy Container (GPC) is stored in the Active Directory database. Each of these GPO portions has an associated version number that keeps track of how many changes have occurred to the computer and user portions within the GPO.
