Group Policy Template (GPT)
The Group Policy Template is where the meat of the GPO resides. By way of comparison, think of how Active Directory represents a computer object. It lists all the relevant attributes of the computer, but the object in Active Directory is not the computer itself. In a similar way, the portion of the GPO in Active Directory merely represents the attributes relevant to the GPO content. The content itself is known as the Group Policy Template, or GPT, and it resides in a share known as SYSVOL. This share, like the portion of the GPO stored in Active Directory, is replicated to every DC in the domain. This way, when a client queries for the GPOs it needs to process, it can locate the contents of those GPOs on the same (in most cases) DC where it's conducting the query.
