I got my approval to attend Jeremy Moskowitz 2 day intensive GP training in Phoenix next month and was looking at a related site yesterday GPOGUY.com and on his site he has six free GP training videos.  If you are new to GP’s or want a quick refresher these should work great for you and they are free. 

Here is the link and a list of the sessions available.

Welcome to the GPOGUY.COM training video page! The goal of these videos is to provide short, but useful instructional training on various aspects of Group Policy. The videos files are usually 20-30 minutes in duration, and provide audio narration and video screen captures based on the topic being discussed. The videos are provided in Windows Media Player format (.wmv) and are best viewed using Full Screen mode.

Let me know what you think of them and come back often for new ones!
