Creating email templates

You can create a custom email template for notifications or email requests (if this option is enabled, see Configuring the Version Control server) and associate it with specific roles. This allows you to standardize the information that is presented to users based on their role within your organization.

You can choose to include attachments and custom subject lines for specified version control actions. For example, you can easily include forms used to track change requests in an external system, risk assessment checklist, or logs in the email.

NOTE:  

For example, to ensure that the Watcher Service or server name does not display in the notification message, remove the following section from the template html file:

<tr>

</tr>

The keyword MACHINENAME specifies the computer where Watcher Service is running.

GPOADmin includes a sample template (DefaultNotificationTemplate.html) in the server installation directory. This file should not be moved or modified; however, you can use it as a basis for the creation of new templates.

Working with Protected Settings policies

Protected Settings policies contain settings that you want to control. They are protected in the sense that they contain and identify the settings that may not be altered by users. This provides an added level of security for the policies within your organization. If a user attempts to create, edit, or remove the flagged settings they are stopped.

Protected Settings are identified by examining the difference report between the Protected Settings policies and the Group Policy Object being checked in. The difference is produced by using the Difference Engine in GPOADmin. Once this is completed, the protected setting function searches the difference report for matches based on the specified validation mode.

Protected Settings policies have a modified workflow and follow the typical check-out, edit, and check-in process. As with any other object, when you are ready to make the newly created Protected Settings policy active or edit an existing policy, a request approval action must be initiated.

Once the approval is granted, the Protected Settings policy is available for use.

If a protection issue is detected during check in, users with the Modify Protected Settings right on the GPO in question, have the option to continue with the check in and override the blocked setting or review a report and address the issue.

Protected settings must be:

Select Options | General and select Enable Protected Settings for Group Policy Objects.
