Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

Group policy is usually used when you have several users who share several computers. If all you have are two computers that you want to have share a few folders and a printer, just setting them up as part of the same work group, then turning on sharing for the desired resources is the way to go.
Good Luck!

What sort of things would you like to accomplish with that "home group policy" ? With some more details I think the community can better help you.

I think that Group Policy would be overkill for two computers - rather like hiring a dump truck to move 2 pebbles to the end of the driveway. Like Carslosdl, I would be curious to hear what you are hoping to accomplish?
