Attempting to edit the same group policy objects using gpedit on the domain controller works just fine, and I can see the "Administrative Templates" folder. I'm logging into the domain controller and the client using the same account, which is a member of the domain administrators group. Thanks for your posting. The Administrative Templates server-side snap-in provides an Administrative Templates node that appears twice in Group Policy Object Editor; once under the Computer Configuration node and again under the User Configuration node.
Occasionally those DLLs can be un-registered or removed, to resolve this issue, re-register the appropriate MMC snap-in DLL that implements the missing functionality by issuing the following command at a Windows command prompt:.
Administrative Templates and Scripts: gptext. Folder Redirection: fde. Internet Explorer Maintenance: ieaksie. IP Security: ipsecsnp. Public Key and Software Restriction: certmgr. Remote Installation Services: rigpsnap. Security: wsecedit. Software Installation: appmgr. Click Finish. For the purpose of this Daily Drill Down, we'll create three test policies. Figure C shows the console with the three snap-ins added for each of the test GPOs. Simply creating a GPO doesn't modify any policy settings.
If you don't modify any settings, the GPO won't have any effect. So now it's time to set some policies in each of the test GPOs you just created. In this example, however, we'll use the custom console instead. Open the branch containing the policy you want to edit.
Expand the Test Support GPO branch, and you should see two items under it: Computer Configuration and User Configuration, each of which has several branches of its own. Knowing where all the policy settings are is a pretty tall order at first. Actually defining the policies is pretty easy. Just expand the branch where the policy is located, double-click the policy, and select Define This Policy Setting. The GP console enables the associated policy setting, which varies from one to another.
In some cases, you simply select either Enabled or Disabled. Other policy settings require other data that varies according to the policy's function. For example, you can configure policies that define how services start, setting a particular service to Manual, Automatic, or Disabled. Or, you can define policies that determine the startup, shutdown, logon, and logoff scripts that apply within the selected GPO.
Explaining every branch in the GP editor, much less each policy setting, is well outside the scope of this Daily Drill Down and would take a book in itself to present adequately. For now, just understand that the GP editor lets you define group policies and that you can access the GP console through the properties for the container where a given GPO is linked or through a custom MMC to which you've added the group policy snap-in focused on a specific site, domain, or OU or the local GPO.
Assume that you've just spent several days creating a GPO to link to a particular OU and have tested and verified that the policies it contains are correct. Registry based settings: Allows you to create a policy to administer operating system components and applications. Security settings: Allows you to set security options for users and computers to restrict them to run files based on path, hash, publisher criteria or URL zone.
Software restrictions: Allows you to create a policy that would restrict users running unwanted applications and protect computers against virus and hacking attacks.
Software distribution and installation: Allows you to either assign or publish software application to domain users centrally with the help of a group policy. Roaming user profiles: Allows mobile users to see a familiar and consistent desktop environment on all the computers of the domain by storing their profile centrally on a server. Internet Explorer maintenance: Allows administrators to manage the IE settings of the users' computers in a domain by setting the security zones, privacy settings and other parameters centrally with the help of group policy.
Local Group Policies affect only the users who log in to the local machine but domain-based policies affect all the users of the domain. If you are creating domain-based policies then you can create policy at three levels: sites , domains and OUs. Besides, you have to make sure that each computer must belong to only one domain and only one site.
When a GPO is defined it is inherited by all the objects under it and is applied in a cumulative fashion successively starting from local computer to site, domain and each nested OU. For example if a GPO is created at domain level then it will affect all the domain members and all the OUs beneath it.
After applying all the policies in hierarchy, the end result of the policy that takes effect on a user or a computer is called the Resultant Set of Policy RSoP. It provides a unified view of local computer, sites, domains and OUs organizational units. You can have the following tools in a single console:.
A group policy can be configured for computers or users or both, as shown here:. The Group Policy editor can be run using the gpedit. Both the policies are applied at the periodic refresh of Group Policies and can be used to specify the desktop settings, operating system behavior, user logon and logoff scripts, application settings, security settings, assigned and published applications options and folder redirection options. We will select to create a new policy instead. Click New to create a new group policy or group policy object.
A new group policy object appears below the Default Domain Policy in the Group Policy tab , as shown below:. Once you rename this group policy, you can either double-click on it, or select it and click Edit. You'll next be presented with the Group Policy Object Editor from where you can select the changes you wish to apply to the specific Group Policy :. In this example, we have selected to Remove Run menu from Start Menu as shown above. Double-click on the selected setting and the properties of the settings will appear.
Select Enabled to enable this setting. Clicking on Explain will provide plenty of additional information to help you understand the effects of this setting. Similarly you can set other settings for the policy.
After setting all the desired options, close the Group Policy Object editor. You new group policy will take effect. Domain Group Policies give the administrator great control over its domain users by enhancing security levels and restricting access to specific areas of the operating system. These policies can be applied to every organisation unit, group or user in the active directory or selectively to the areas you need.
This article shows you how to create a domain group policy that can then be applied as required. If you have found the article useful, we would really appreciate you sharing it with others by using the provided services on the top left corner of this article.
