Hi

Could i have a strong GPO template which i can customize and use.
Thx

Well, there are thousands of settings. Perhaps you can be more specific about what your goals are. Security? Desktop management? Software deployment? Terminal Server?

Sure as for me an ideal gpo should enforce restrictions on all aspects and run only certain applications(in my case not more than 2).
Thx

That article is for Terminal Server but it details lots of settings you can consider locking down.

To restrict software from running you can use Software Restriction policy found in the gp editor:

Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings.

You may want to review this article at Technet regarding common scenarios of GP.
