		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft Group Policy became very useful with the launch of Windows server 2000 and as more and more businesses were moving away from the workgroup environment and into the domain environment. Group Policy gave network administrators a way to control settings on all computers and servers that exsist within there network domain. Over the years group policy has evolved and become very customizable where each OU within Active Directory can have its own group policy. So if you need to hadle the computers within the accounting department different than the computers in the maintenance department, group policy can do this. For the purposes of this article I will be discussing the newest version which is what is included in Windows Server 2008 64-bit. Although there are not a whole lot of changes (except the look) betweeen Server 2003 and Server 2008 I am willing to do a Server 2003 Group Policy article if enough people would like to see it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who do not know what a MAC address is, it is the burned in address that every networking piece of equipment has that is unique. No two pieces of equipment should every have the same MAC address. There are many reasons someone might want to change the MAC address of the network card or wireless card. Maybe they are trying to connect to someone's wireless network that only allows certain MAC addresses. You can also change your MAC address to test your own security settings, and even DHCP settings. So there are many reasons why you might want to change your MAC address.]]></description>

Each device has a specific MAC address that is unique to it only and no other device has that address. Most systems allow you to change your MAC address but it is purely software based, it will not changed the burned in address on your card. But when you change your MAC address and you connect to a network it will give out the changed address.]]></description>
