"Learn by doing." (Chris Turk) ;-)

Sounds glib, but it's the best way I've found for these things. Leave
the domain and domain controller ones alone for the moment - create a
test OU, some test users and computers.

Create a profile from the ground up, then start GPO-ing. People tend to
be in two camps - most restrictive - then slacken if and when you really
need to, and alternatively, just tactically restrict the things you know
you are concerned with.

The first approach is more traditional from a computer security
perspective.
