We understand your goals but aren't sure how to achieve them. Right now, we operate as a tiny non-profit with under ten staff members. Each person uses their own Windows machine connected to a workgroup. Some run Windows XP while others use Windows 8. None of the systems have passwords set. We also have a QNAP NAS connected to the network for file backups. Essentially, our setup feels more like a home network. What we need is Group Policy functionality so we can manage and control multiple Windows systems efficiently. I have several questions about how to reach this setup. Two points come to mind: 1. Is it necessary to run Windows Server continuously on a specific machine for Group Policy? 2. Are there alternative solutions other than using Windows Server? Please let me know!
Because our company relies heavily on volunteers who move in and out regularly, managing access can be challenging. Some of these individuals store their personal information on their devices, which increases the risk of data breaches. We want to ensure we control our equipment and accounts effectively while keeping everything secure within the organization.
