Tools used to
configure GPO
You can configure GPOs
with these set of tools from Microsoft
(other 3rd-party tools exist but we will
discuss these in a different article):
-
Group Policy Object
Editor snap-in in MMC - or - use
gpedit.msc from the Run command.
-
Active Directory
Users and Computers snap in - or
dsa.msc – to invoke the Group
Policy tab on every OU or on the
Domain.
-
Active Directory
Sites and Services - or
dssite.msc – to invoke the Group
Policy tab on a site.
-
Group Policy
Management Console - or gpmc.msc
- this utility is NOT included in
Windows 2003 server and needs to be
separately installed.
Note that if you'd like
to use the GPMC tool on Windows XP, you
need to install it on computers running
Windows XP SP2. Installing it on
computers without SP2 will generate
errors due to unsupported and newer .ADM
files. |
