I'm getting into Active Directory administration, and I'm looking for some guidance on implementing Group Policy Objects (GPOs) for Windows clients. Which GPOs are considered essential, and what resources can help me get started?

As for your question about the difference between CIS and Microsoft’s guidelines, CIS ones tend to be much more strict. The Microsoft ones are pretty good too, but they’re generally more generic and easier to implement right off the bat—better for most companies.
Check out the CIS benchmarks; they provide some solid guidance on security practices for GPOs. Another good resource is the ASD blueprints—they have specific recommendations for Windows hardening that could help you a lot.
