Group Policy Management (GPO) is automatically installed when you install Active Directory Domain Services on the server. GPO can not be installed without AD DS.

GPO is used to manage workstations and servers connected to a domain. Using a simple and easy interface you can define each computer- or user groups specific settings.

GPO is used in nearly any organization or business.

GPO comes defined out of the box with Default Domain Policy and Default Domain Controller Policy.


Updating GPO in a workstation or server using the command line:

 gpupdate

Part of the policies are updated immediately when this is run, but some of them require you to log in again and some even require you to reboot the PC to update.

Basic functions

  1. Open Group Policy Management
  2. Select Default Domain Policy, this policy is applied to the entire domain
  3. Select the Settings tab

  6. You can now look for the policy you wish to edit
